Overview

Category: Cognitive
Difficulty: Easy
Best for: Persistent long-term memory for your assistant.

Quick Start

If your provider offers a hosted MCP endpoint, use a URL-based config:

Hosted MCP Config json

{
  "memory": {
    "url": "https://YOUR_MEMORY_MCP_ENDPOINT"
  }
}

For local or self-hosted servers, use a CLI bridge and keep secrets in environment variables:

Local CLI Config json

{
  "memory": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://YOUR_MEMORY_MCP_ENDPOINT"],
    "env": {
      "MEMORY_API_KEY": "YOUR_MEMORY_API_KEY"
    }
  }
}

Common Pitfalls

Explain benefits; show before/after conversations.
Store credentials in environment variables, not in config files.
Limit scopes to the minimum required for your workflows.
Verify the MCP is running with clawdbot status before testing.
