Agents forget. CI remembers. Persistent memory for AI agents. Store, recall, and share information across sessions. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, LangChain, CrewAI, and any agent that supports MCP. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

Set CI_API_KEY, CI_API_URL before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add alekseimarchenko-central-intelligence -- npx -y central-intelligence-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alekseimarchenko-central-intelligence": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "central-intelligence-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
