The Smritea plugin: persistent memory for Claude Code and Cursor

The Smritea plugin gives an AI coding assistant memory that lasts across sessions. For Claude Code, it adds slash commands, a session-start hook, a skill and the MCP tools. For Cursor, it adds the MCP tools, a rule and a skill.

Claude installation

Add the Smritea marketplace.

/plugin marketplace add SmrutAI/smritea-plugin

Install the plugin.
```
/plugin install smritea@smritea
```
Reload plugins.
```
/reload-plugins
```
Log in with /smritea:login. Then pick an app with npx -y smritea-mcp configure, or ask the assistant to use the list_apps and select_app tools.

The commands

The plugin adds four slash commands to Claude Code. The table says what each command does.

Command	What it does
`/smritea:login`	Signs you in through the browser
`/smritea:config`	Runs the `smritea-mcp configure` setup wizard
`/smritea:add-memory <text>`	Stores the text as a memory, exactly as you typed it
`/smritea:recall <topic>`	Searches memories about the topic, up to 10 results, and summarizes them

What the session hook does

When a Claude Code session starts, the hook searches your selected app for relevant memories. It adds the top 10 to the session as context.

If you set a project name, the hook keeps only memories with the same project_name metadata. The add_memory tool adds that metadata. A memory you added through an SDK has no project_name, so the hook skips it.
If you have not selected an app, or you are not logged in, the hook prints a message that says what to run.
If the hook fails, it prints a warning. It never blocks your session.

Cursor installation

The Cursor package holds the MCP configuration, an always-on rule and a skill. The rule makes the assistant search memories at the start of each conversation.

On Teams or Enterprise, an admin imports https://github.com/SmrutAI/smritea-plugin as a team marketplace. Members then install smritea.
For a local copy, copy the cursor/ folder of the plugin repository to ~/.cursor/plugins/local/smritea. Then run Developer: Reload Window.

Cursor does not get the session-start hook or the slash commands. Run npx -y smritea-mcp login and npx -y smritea-mcp configure in a terminal.

Where it keeps its settings

The plugin reads the same files as the MCP server: ~/.smritea/settings.json and ~/.smritea/auth.json. It does not read environment variables. If your app is in India, set memory_base_url in settings.json to https://api-in.smritea.ai.
