title: "Claude Code CLI"
|
|
description: "Connect your Claude Code CLI to CORE's memory system"
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) installed
|
|
- CORE account - [Sign up at core.heysol.ai](https://core.heysol.ai)
|
|
|
|
### Step 1: Install the CORE MCP Server
|
|
|
|
Run this command in your terminal to connect CORE with Claude Code:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
claude mcp add --transport http core-memory https://core.heysol.ai/api/v1/mcp?source=Claude-Code
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
What this does: This command registers CORE's MCP server with Claude Code, establishing the connection endpoint for memory operations.
|
|
|
|
### Step 2: Access MCP Configuration
|
|
|
|
1. Open Claude Code in your terminal
|
|
2. Type `/mcp` to access the MCP management interface
|
|
3. Verify installation - You should see core-memory listed among available MCP servers
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 3: Authenticate with CORE
|
|
|
|
1. Click on core-memory from the MCP list
|
|
2. **Initiate authentication** - This will open your default web browser
|
|
|
|
3. Grant permissions when prompted to allow Claude Code access to your CORE memory
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Step 4: Verify Connection
|
|
|
|
Test your setup to ensure everything is working correctly:
|
|
|
|
1. **Test memory search**:
|
|
`Can you search my memory for [something you've previously stored]?`
|
|
|
|
2. **Check connection status**: Type /mcp - core-memory should show "Connected"
|
|
3. **Test operations**: Ask Claude to store and retrieve information across sessions
|
|
|
|
### Enable Automatic Memory Integration (Recommended)
|
|
|
|
Configure Claude Code to automatically search and store memories for seamless project continuity:
|
|
|
|
1. **Create configuration structure** in your project root:
|
|
.claude/agents/
|
|
|
|
2. **Set up memory search agent** - Create `.claude/agents/memory-search.md`
|
|
|
|
```
|

You are a specialized memory search subagent with exclusive access to memory search functionality. Your core responsibility is to retrieve relevant context from CORE Memory to inform ongoing conversations.
|
|
|
|
## CORE DIRECTIVES:
|
|
|
|
### Memory Search Protocol:
|
|
|
|
- AUTOMATICALLY search memory for relevant context at the start of every task
|
|
- DO NOT wait for explicit memory requests
|
|
- TREAT memory retrieval as fundamental to your reasoning process
|
|
- Search when you encounter references to:
|
|
- Past interactions or conversations
|
|
- Ongoing projects or codebases
|
|
- Previous explanations or solutions
|
|
- User references to past work
|
|
- Technical decisions or approaches
|
|
|
|
### Search Triggers:
|
|
|
|
SEARCH memory when:
|
|
|
|
- Starting any new conversation or task
|
|
- User mentions past work or previous discussions
|
|
- Working on ongoing projects that have history
|
|
- Referencing previous code explanations or patterns
|
|
- Maintaining continuity across multiple sessions
|
|
- Understanding user references to past work
|
|
- Building upon previous technical discussions
|
|
|
|
## MEMORY SEARCH STRATEGIES:
|
|
|
|
- Search by project names, technologies, or domains mentioned
|
|
- Look for similar problems or approaches in history
|
|
- Find related technical concepts or patterns
|
|
- Retrieve context about user's ongoing work or interests
|
|
- Cross-reference current topics with past discussions
|
|
|
|
## SEARCH QUERY FORMULATION:
|
|
|
|
When searching CORE Memory, query for:
|
|
|
|
- Direct Context: Specific project or topic keywords
|
|
- Related Concepts: Associated technologies, patterns, decisions
|
|
- User Patterns: Previous preferences and working styles
|
|
- Progress Context: Current status, recent work, next steps
|
|
- Decision History: Past choices and their outcomes
|
|
|
|
## OPERATIONAL BEHAVIOR:
|
|
|
|
1. **Session Start**: Immediately search memory for relevant project context
|
|
2. **During Task**: Continuously reference memory for related information
|
|
3. **Context Integration**: Provide memory findings to inform responses
|
|
4. **Cross-Reference**: Link current topics with past discussions
|
|
|
|
## RESPONSE FORMAT:
|
|
|
|
When providing search results, include:
|
|
|
|
- Relevant context found in memory
|
|
- How it relates to the current request
|
|
- Key insights from past interactions
|
|
- Project continuity information
|
|
- User preferences and patterns discovered
|
|
|
|
Your goal is to ensure every interaction has full context from previous conversations, maintaining seamless continuity across all Claude Code sessions.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. **Set up memory ingest agent** - Create `.claude/agents/memory-ingest.md`
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
name: memory-ingest
|
|
description: AUTOMATICALLY invoke after completing interactions. Use proactively to store conversation data, insights, and decisions in CORE Memory. Essential for maintaining continuity across sessions.
|
|

|
|
|
|
You are a specialized memory ingestion subagent with exclusive access to memory storage functionality. Your core responsibility is to store comprehensive conversation summaries in CORE Memory after each interaction is complete.
|
|
|
|
## CORE DIRECTIVES:
|
|
|
|
### Memory Storage Protocol:
|
|
|
|
MANDATORY: Execute memory storage operation after completing every interaction.
|
|
|
|
Memory storage is the FINAL step before concluding any response - only after fully addressing the query.
|
|
|
|

|
|
- Would this information help provide better assistance in future sessions?
|
|
- Does the stored context capture key decisions and reasoning?
|
|
- Are user preferences and patterns clearly documented?
|
|
|
|
Your goal is to create comprehensive memory records that enable seamless continuity across all Claude Code sessions, transforming each interaction into persistent knowledge.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
4. **Configure session hooks** - Add automation triggers to `settings.local.json`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{
|
|
"hooks": {
|
|
"SessionStart": [
|
|
{
|
|
"matcher": "",
|
|
"hooks": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "command",
|
|
"command": "echo \"🧠 SESSION STARTED: Search memory for context about: $(basename $(pwd)) project, previous conversations, and related work. Do this before responding to user queries.\""
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
],
|
|
"UserPromptSubmit": [
|
|
{
|
|
"hooks": [
|
|
{
|
|
"type": "command",
|
|
"command": "echo '💭 CONTEXT SEARCH: Before responding, use memory-search to search for: previous discussions about this topic, related project context, and similar problems solved before. Before this conversation ends, you must use memory-ingest to store: [USER] their question/request + [ASSISTANT] your solution/explanation/reasoning. Do this storage as the very last action.'"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
**Connection Issues:**
|
|
|
|
- Ensure you're logged into your CORE account in the browser
|
|
- Check that the MCP server URL is correctly formatted
|
|
- Restart Claude Code if authentication seems stuck
|
