memsprout for AI agents

memsprout is a shared AI-context layer for teams — persistent memory your agents search and update over MCP. Every agent and tool you connect reads and writes the same knowledge base, so context survives across sessions, models, and clients. This repo packages the connection two ways: a Claude Code plugin (remote MCP server + a usage skill) and a standalone Agent Skill that works in any client that reads SKILL.md.

Before you install

Create an account at memsprout.com first. The OAuth sign-in that opens when a client first connects does not create accounts — it only signs in existing ones.

Related MCP server: AgentBase

One-command setup

npx memsprout

Detects your installed MCP clients (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor), wires each selected one to the server, and offers to scaffold the team files into your repo. Non-destructive, idempotent, stores no credentials. Source in installer/. Not yet published to npm — until it is, use the per-client instructions below.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add memsprout/agents
/plugin install memsprout@memsprout

The plugin adds the memsprout MCP server and the using-memsprout skill. The first connection opens the browser OAuth flow.

claude.ai and Claude Desktop

Add memsprout as a custom connector: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, with the server URL below. Sign in when the memsprout consent screen opens.

Agent Skill via skills.sh

npx skills add memsprout/agents

Installs the using-memsprout skill, which teaches your agent when and how to use memsprout's tools. You still need the MCP server connected (see below) — the skill describes the doctrine; the server provides the tools.

Cursor

The cursor/ directory has copy-in files for both motions: merge cursor/mcp.json into ~/.cursor/mcp.json for yourself, or commit it as .cursor/mcp.json plus the cursor/rules/memsprout.mdc project rule to your team's repo so every teammate's Cursor shares the same memory. See cursor/README.md.

Codex

codex mcp add memsprout --url https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp

The Codex CLI, IDE extension, and ChatGPT desktop app share ~/.codex/config.toml, so this one command wires all three. For team setup, append the client-agnostic codex/AGENTS-snippet.md to your repo's AGENTS.md so every AGENTS.md-reading agent follows the team's memory doctrine. See codex/README.md.

Any other MCP client

Point your client at the remote server:

https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp

Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 — clients that support MCP authorization discover the sign-in flow automatically. Per-client wiring instructions (Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and more) are at memsprout.com/connect.
