agentmemory connect <agent> merges the memory server into a host agent's config and preserves any existing servers. REST is the underlying protocol; for MCP-only hosts the adapter wires the stdio MCP bridge.
Quick start
agentmemory connect claude-code # or cursor, codex, gemini-cli, ...
After wiring, restart the host or run its MCP reload (for example /mcp in Claude Code) so it picks up the server. Then confirm the agent lists agentmemory's tools.
Workflow
- Detect the calling agent. If unknown, default to
claude-code. - Run
agentmemory connect <name>using a name from the table in REFERENCE.md. - Verify: the host should show the full tool set with a server running. Only 7 tools means the MCP shim could not reach a server (see ../_shared/TROUBLESHOOTING.md).
Notes
- The action skills (remember, recall, and the rest) are installed separately with
npx skills add rohitg00/agentmemory.connectmakes tools available; skills teach the agent when to use them. - Windows: use WSL2. Native Windows runs the server but
connectis not supported there.
