Supermemory MCP Server 4.0

A standalone MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Supermemory that gives AI assistants persistent memory across conversations. Built on Cloudflare Workers with Durable Objects for scalable, persistent connections.

Features

  • Authentication - Supports both API keys and OAuth authentication
  • Persistent Memory - Save and recall information across sessions
  • User Profiles - Auto-generated profiles from stored memories
  • Project Scoping - Organize memories by project with x-sm-project header
  • Analytics - PostHog integration for usage tracking

Setup

bash
npx -y install-mcp@latest https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp --client claude --oauth=yes

Replace claude with your MCP client: claude, cursor, windsurf, etc.

Manual Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

The server uses OAuth authentication by default. Your MCP client will automatically discover the authorization server via /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource and prompt you to authenticate.

API Key Authentication (Alternative)

If you prefer to use an API key instead of OAuth, you can pass it directly in the Authorization header. Get your API key from app.supermemory.ai:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sm_your_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

API keys start with sm_ and are automatically detected. When an API key is provided, OAuth authentication is skipped.

Project Scoping (Optional)

To scope all operations to a specific project, add the x-sm-project header:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "supermemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-sm-project": "your-project-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tools

memory

Save or forget information about the user.

json
{
  "content": "User prefers dark mode and uses TypeScript",
  "action": "save",
  "containerTag": "optional-project-tag"
}
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
contentstringYesThe memory content to save or forget
action"save" | "forget"NoDefault: "save"
containerTagstringNoProject tag to scope the memory

recall

Search memories and get user profile.

json
{
  "query": "What are the user's programming preferences?",
  "includeProfile": true,
  "containerTag": "optional-project-tag"
}
ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
querystringYesSearch query to find relevant memories
includeProfilebooleanNoInclude user profile summary. Default: true
containerTagstringNoProject tag to scope the search

whoAmI

Get the current logged-in user's information.

json
{}

Returns: { userId, email, name, client, sessionId }

Resources

Development

Prerequisites

Install Dependencies

bash
bun install

Environment Variables

Create a .dev.vars file:

env
API_URL=http://localhost:8787
or 
API_URL=https://api.supermemory.ai
VariableDescriptionDefault
API_URLMain Supermemory API URL for OAuth validationhttps://api.supermemory.ai

Run Locally

bash
bun run dev

The server will start at http://localhost:8788.

Note: For local development, you also need the main Supermemory API running at the API_URL for OAuth token validation.

Deploy

bash
bun run deploy
