People who work with ai memory, claude code mcp and codex cli and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Total Agent Memory

before you install - you'll need

Set TAM_REMOTE_URL, TAM_REMOTE_TOKEN_FILE, MEMORY_LLM_ENABLED, MEMORY_LLM_PROVIDER, MEMORY_LLM_MODEL, OLLAMA_URL, MEMORY_EMBED_THREADS, MEMORY_TORCH_THREADS before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add vbcherepanov-total-agent-memory -- uvx total-agent-memory

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "vbcherepanov-total-agent-memory": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "total-agent-memory"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
