Hooks make the loop deterministic. MCP rides beside them as reach.

npm install -g memcell
memcell connect

Run it in a project you code in. It prints a code, one tap in your browser approves it — no account needed, and a guest's memory carries over on sign-in. Wires Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Qwen, Grok, Droid, Kiro, Devin and more: hooks, the memcell mcp bridge, an agent key for this directory, and .memcell.

Installed rather than npxed on purpose: the hooks this writes name memcell, and a runner's cached copy is gone by the next session. npx memcell connect works and will say so if the command will not survive.

Commands

command

what it does

memcell connect

wire this directory — approves in your browser the first time

memcell recall

what memory serves before you act

memcell remember

file one thing this project has established (--at when it applies)

memcell report

what happened when something memory served was acted on

memcell status

who this machine is, and what this directory is linked to

memcell stats

what your agents did, and what it saved in tokens not spent

memcell ingest <f>

hand a document to this directory's memory

memcell import

bring existing instruction files into memory — bare, it finds them

memcell export

carry this space out — one document, no account needed

memcell hook remove

take memcell's hooks out of this directory

memcell login

sign this machine in

memcell reset

forget everything memcell keeps on this machine

resource

acts on

memcell config

settings, per project or per machine

memcell spaces

what you work on, and which one is active

memcell agents

the agents wired to this account

memcell memories

the commons

memcell --help <name> explains any of them. Ships two binaries: memcell and mem.

Undo pairs: login ⇄ logout (this machine ⇄ an account), connect ⇄ hook remove (this directory ⇄ a space, with an agent key). Revoking a credential never forgets what the agents filed.

How it works

  • Hooks — recall runs at session start and prompt submit; remember and report run at turn end; and a rule that names a moment is served again before the act it bears on, which costs no extra call — the rules come down with the turn's recall and the matching is local. MCP tool calls are model-invoked with no session lifecycle, so they cannot guarantee any of those moments; hooks fire regardless of what the model decides to call. Fails open, always.

  • MCP — wiring also registers memcell mcp, a stdio bridge to the paired instance, so the model can ask memory mid-turn. The committed entry is just that command: no secret in any config file.

  • .memcell — the instance and the space. Project truth, identical for every clone, safe to commit. Keys live in the machine keyring; a teammate who clones runs one memcell connect of their own.

Options

option

what it does

--url

which memcell to act on, of the ones this directory is wired to

--space

name which of your spaces to wire, by slug

--pair <id>

claim a pairing from the connect page instead of the in-terminal flow

--no-browser

print the approval link instead of opening it

MEMCELL_INSTANCE sets the default instance for a shell.

Claude Code plugin

This repo is also a plugin marketplace:

/plugin marketplace add memcell-ai/cli
/plugin install memcell@memcell

The plugin registers the MCP bridge and a skill teaching the four doors (recall, remember, ingest, report). Hooks still come from memcell connect — the plugin is reach, the hooks are the loop.
