Make every AI tool remember.
Connect a tool, add the instruction, and your AI remembers. That's the whole manual.
Quickstart
- Create an account at thememoryos.com/signup.
- Copy your connector URL — it's the same for every tool:
https://thememoryos.com/mcp - Add it as a custom connector (MCP) in each tool — exact steps below. Each tool asks you to approve access once.
- Add the standing instruction (next section) so saving and recalling happen without being asked.
The standing instruction
Paste this into each tool's custom instructions (chat apps) or rules file
(IDEs: CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules):
MemoryOS is connected. When a conversation reaches a conclusion or the
topic changes, call store_dot with a short title, a 2-3 sentence
self-contained summary of what was decided, and comma-separated tags -
then tell me the returned mos:id. When I say 'save a deep dot' (or type
/deepdot), instead compact this ENTIRE session into store_dot with
compact: true - sections: topic & goal; key insights and decisions
with their reasoning; corrections or confusion points; current state
and outcomes; next steps. Include key code snippets in fenced ```
blocks. Title deep dots '[Domain] - [Topic]', tag with topic and skill
tags, and if the session continues an earlier dot, pass its mos:id in
link_to. When I write mos:<id>, call get_dot
first and use that context. When I reference past work, call find_dots
before asking me to re-explain. Keep MemoryOS replies brief - confirm a
save with its mos:id in one line, use recalled context without
narrating it, and don't explain MemoryOS internals unless I ask.
Using it daily
With the instruction installed, this is the entire interface — four habits, no UI required:
| You… | What happens |
|---|---|
| finish a piece of work | The assistant saves a dot on its own — a 2–3 sentence summary —
and tells you its mos: id. Say "save the dot" any time
to force one. |
| say "save a deep dot" | The whole session is compacted into one structured dot — goal, every decision with
its reasoning, current state, open threads. Premium & Max.
(In chat apps /deepdot works too.) |
type a mos:id in any tool |
That dot plus its connected context is served right there — the cross-tool handoff. Research on your phone, type the id in Cursor, keep building. |
| mention past work | The assistant searches your memory first instead of asking you to re-explain. |
One verb, two sizes: "save the dot" = small and quick, keeps the graph clean. "save a deep dot" = deliberate, before stepping away from something big. The adjective is the command.
ChatGPT
Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings → enable Developer mode → back to Apps → Create → name it MemoryOS, paste the URL, authentication OAuth → Create → Connect.
Needs a paid ChatGPT plan. Set it up on desktop web once — the connector then works in the mobile apps too. Put the standing instruction in Settings → Personalization → Custom instructions.
Claude
Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector → name it MemoryOS, paste the URL → Add → Connect and approve.
Works on claude.ai and the desktop app; enable it from the tools menu inside a chat.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http memoryos https://thememoryos.com/mcp
Then inside a session: /mcp → memoryos → Authenticate (your browser opens to approve).
Add the standing instruction to your project's CLAUDE.md and every coding
session stores its decisions automatically.
Cursor
Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new global MCP server, then add:
{ "mcpServers": {
"memoryos": { "url": "https://thememoryos.com/mcp" } } }
Save, then click Sign in next to memoryos and approve. Tip: add the instruction to
.cursorrules so every session stores dots on its own.
Windsurf
Windsurf Settings → Cascade → MCP servers → Manage, then add:
{ "mcpServers": {
"memoryos": { "serverUrl": "https://thememoryos.com/mcp" } } }
Refresh the server list and authenticate when prompted. .windsurfrules makes it automatic.
VS Code
Ctrl/⌘ ⇧ P → MCP: Add Server… → HTTP → paste the URL → name it memoryos → allow the sign-in.
Requires Copilot agent mode. Commit .vscode/mcp.json to share the setup with your team:
{ "servers": {
"memoryos": { "type": "http", "url": "https://thememoryos.com/mcp" } } }
Gemini CLI
Add to ~/.gemini/settings.json:
{ "mcpServers": {
"memoryos": { "httpUrl": "https://thememoryos.com/mcp" } } }
The Gemini web app doesn't accept custom connectors yet — use the CLI, or the copy-paste path below.
Anything else
Tools without custom connectors (Replit, Base44, Lovable, v0…) still work, manually and in both directions: open a dot in your graph → Copy context → paste it at the top of your prompt. To save the conclusion afterwards, use + Add session in the app.
Deep dots — Premium & Max
Say "save a deep dot" (in chat apps /deepdot works too) and the
assistant saves the entire session — goal, decisions, current state, next
steps, code included — as one dot you can bring back anywhere with its mos: id.
If the assistant answers "Memory updated"
(its own built-in memory) instead of returning a mos: id, the MemoryOS
connector isn't active in that chat — say "save a deep dot to MemoryOS" and
check the tool's + menu.
The Agent — Max
The ✦ Agent button in your graph opens a chat that works on your memory: ask what's in it, or tell it to organize. It can build packs — named sub-graphs around a hub dot — plus link and tag dots. It never deletes anything.
- "What do I have about auth?" — searches and answers from your dots.
- "Create a pack of everything related to my launch" — finds the dots, builds the hub.
- "Tag my billing dots with stripe" — bulk-tags what it finds.
Every pack becomes a tab above your graph: tap it to view that sub-graph on its own, and All dots to come back. In the graph itself, packs are the ringed dots.
Personal API — Max
Generate a token in the app under Profile → Personal API token, then call your memory from scripts with a Bearer header:
# search your memory
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mospat_..." \
"https://thememoryos.com/api/recall?q=auth&limit=5"
# save a dot
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer mospat_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"title":"Deploy decision","body":"Render + Cloudflare; disk at /srv.",
"source":"manual","tags":"deploy,infra"}' \
https://thememoryos.com/api/save
| Endpoint | Returns |
|---|---|
GET /api/me | Account, plan, dot count, tokens saved. |
GET /api/graph | All dots and edges — your whole graph as JSON. |
GET /api/recall?q=&limit=&hops= | Matching dots + a rendered context block. |
POST /api/save | {title, body, source?, tags?} → the new dot's mos: id. |
The token is shown once when you generate it — we keep only a fingerprint. Revoking it in the app kills it instantly, and it stops working if the plan lapses. Deleting dots is deliberately not in the token API — that stays in the dashboard, so a leaked token can never destroy your memory.
