Tempera MCP Server

Tempera gives Claude Code a persistent memory that learns from experience. Instead of starting fresh each session, Claude can recall past solutions, learn what works, and get smarter over time. 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 Rust.

01 · Install Tempera

Claude Code

claude mcp add anvanster-tempera -- npx -y @astudioplus/tempera-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "anvanster-tempera": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@astudioplus/tempera-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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