What it does. Use this when setting up claude-mem on Cursor: local or remote worker, local host-login observer or remote cmem.ai inference.
Install claude-mem on Cursor
Independent of Grok Bot. Do not require the other IDE.
Local worker (default)
npx claude-mem install --ide cursor
Starts the local worker. Hooks already ship with this plugin. MCP
claude-mem-local
talks to it.
Observer:
- Remote inference (typical): leave provider as openrouter / cmem.ai (
CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://cmem.ai/api/inference/v1
)
- Local host-login:
--provider host
(loopback shim; never bind the worker port — on macOS the worker is often 37777, so the shim uses 37778)
Remote worker
npx claude-mem install
**Install**
```bash
npx skills add thedotmack/claude-mem --skill install
Or copy the skill folder manually:
git clone https://github.com/thedotmack/claude-mem.git
cp -r claude-mem/claude-mem-cursor/skills/install/ ~/.claude/skills/install
