01 · Install Adaptive Recall

Claude Code

claude mcp add aiappsapi-adaptive-recall -- npx -y adaptive-recall

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "aiappsapi-adaptive-recall": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "adaptive-recall"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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