Cursor Support Now Available 🎉

This is a major release introducing full Cursor IDE support. Claude-mem now works with Cursor, bringing persistent AI memory to Cursor users with or without a Claude Code subscription.

Highlights

Give Cursor persistent memory. Every Cursor session starts fresh - your AI doesn't remember what it worked on yesterday. Claude-mem changes that. Your agent builds cumulative knowledge about your codebase, decisions, and patterns over time.

Works Without Claude Code

You can now use claude-mem with Cursor using free AI providers:

• Gemini (recommended): 1,500 free requests/day, no credit card required
• OpenRouter: Access to 100+ models including free options
• Claude SDK: For Claude Code subscribers

Cross-Platform Support

Full support for all major platforms:

• macOS: Bash scripts with jq and curl
• Linux: Same toolchain as macOS
• Windows: Native PowerShell scripts, no WSL required

New Features

Interactive Setup Wizard (bun run cursor:setup)

A guided installer that:

• Detects your environment (Claude Code present or not)
• Helps you choose and configure an AI provider
• Installs Cursor hooks automatically
• Starts the worker service
• Verifies everything is working

Cursor Lifecycle Hooks

Complete hook integration with Cursor's native hook system:

• session-init.sh/.ps1 - Session start with context injection
• user-message.sh/.ps1 - User prompt capture
• save-observation.sh/.ps1 - Tool usage logging
• save-file-edit.sh/.ps1 - File edit tracking
• session-summary.sh/.ps1 - Session end summary
• context-inject.sh/.ps1 - Load relevant history

Context Injection via .cursor/rules

Relevant past context is automatically injected into Cursor sessions via the .cursor/rules/claude-mem-context.mdc file, giving your AI immediate awareness of prior work.

Project Registry

Multi-project support with automatic project detection:

• Projects registered in ~/.claude-mem/cursor-projects.json
• Context automatically scoped to current project
• Works across multiple workspaces simultaneously

MCP Search Tools

Full MCP server integration for Cursor:

• search - Find observations by query, date, type
• timeline - Get context around specific observations
• get_observations - Fetch full details for filtered IDs
