How to Set Up and Use Supermemory
Supermemory MCP is a memory persistence layer for AI assistants that lets you store, retrieve, and visualize information across sessions and across different MCP-compatible clients. Built on the Supermemory API, it provides fast, scalable memory storage so that context you save with one AI tool is immediately available in another — eliminating the need to re-explain background information in every conversation. Users and developers use it to build a persistent knowledge base that travels with them across Claude, and any other MCP-compatible client.
Prerequisites
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop
- A Supermemory account (free, no credit card required) — sign up at https://app.supermemory.ai
- A Supermemory API key from https://console.supermemory.ai (required for self-hosted deployments; optional for the hosted service)
Sign up for Supermemory
Create a free account at app.supermemory.ai. No credit card is required and the service is free to use.
# Visit: https://app.supermemory.ai
# Click Sign Up and create your accountOne-click install via Claude DXT
The quickest way to install is via the Claude DXT file. Download it from the Supermemory assets URL and double-click to install into Claude Desktop.
# Download the DXT file:
curl -L https://assets.supermemory.ai/mcp-dxt.dxt -o supermemory-mcp.dxt
# Then double-click the .dxt file to install into Claude DesktopManual configuration for Claude Desktop
Alternatively, add the server block manually to your Claude Desktop configuration file.

"supermemory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["supermemory-mcp"],
"env": {
"SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY": "your_api_key_here"
}
}
}
}Obtain an API key (for self-hosted setup)
If you are self-hosting the Supermemory backend, retrieve your API key from the Supermemory console and set it in the server config.
# Visit: https://console.supermemory.ai
# Generate an API key and copy it into SUPERMEMORY_API_KEYTest memory storage
Restart Claude Desktop and ask it to remember a piece of information. Then start a new conversation and ask it to recall what it remembered.
Supermemory Examples
Client configuration
Claude Desktop config with SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY for authenticated access.

}Prompts to try
Example prompts for storing and retrieving memories across sessions.
- "Remember that my preferred coding language is TypeScript and I work at Acme Corp"
- "What do you remember about my project preferences?"
- "Save this API design decision: we use REST with camelCase JSON fields"
- "Search my memories for anything related to authentication"
- "Show me my memory graph as an interactive visualization"Troubleshooting Supermemory
Memories are not persisting between sessions
Verify that the MCP server is connected (check Claude Desktop's server status). Memories only persist when stored via the MCP tools — ensure you are explicitly asking Claude to 'remember' information, not relying on its built-in context window.
Authentication fails with SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY
Generate a fresh API key at https://console.supermemory.ai and update the env variable. Keys for self-hosted deployments are separate from the hosted service credentials.
The DXT installation fails or Claude does not recognize the extension
Ensure you are running a recent version of Claude Desktop that supports .dxt extensions. As a fallback, use the manual npx configuration method instead.
