Clude MCP Server

Cognitive memory for AI agents. Not just storage - synthesis. A cognitive memory system. Most memory SDKs store and retrieve. Clude also processes memories over time - decay, consolidation, contradiction resolution, reflection. 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.

01 · Install Clude

before you install - you'll need

CORTEX_API_KEY

Environment variables documented in the project's README - it lists which are required and which have defaults.

Claude Code

claude mcp add sebbsssss-clude -- npx -y @clude/sdk

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sebbsssss-clude": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@clude/sdk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @clude/sdk - the @clude scope differs from the repo owner (sebbsssss); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.sebbsssss is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

05 · Clude FAQ

What is Clude?

Is Clude still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-07-22. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Clude?

Run `npx -y @clude/sdk`. The README documents one environment variable (CORTEX_API_KEY) to set first. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Clude run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
