01 · Install Telemem

before you install - you'll need

Set TELEMEM_CONFIG, OPENAI_API_KEY, MINIMAX_API_KEY, MEM0_TELEMETRY before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add teleai-uagi-telemem -- uvx telemem

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "teleai-uagi-telemem": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "telemem"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
