Cursor + Memanto

Connect Cursor to Memanto so it can store facts, decisions, and preferences and recall them across sessions.

Connect via CLI (recommended)

memanto connect cursor

This installs a Cursor-specific rules file (.cursor/rules/memanto.mdc) and the memanto-memory skill into your project. Add --global to install to ~/.cursor/ for every project:

memanto connect cursor --global

The connector also writes sessionStart and preCompact hooks into Cursor’s hooks.json, so memanto memory sync refreshes the memories in .cursor/rules/memanto.mdc when a session starts and again before context is compacted.

Connect via MCP

Cursor is an MCP client, so you can alternatively register Memanto as an MCP server. Edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json (per-user) or .cursor/mcp.json (per-project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memanto": {
      "command": "memanto-mcp",
      "env": {
        "MOORCHEH_API_KEY": "mch_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "MEMANTO_DEFAULT_AGENT_ID": "cursor-workspace"
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor and confirm memanto shows up with 7 tools. See the MCP integration guide for the full server reference.
