Palim tools (11, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postspalim_add_memoryFreeStore a memory, fact, decision, or preference for later retrieval.
palim_checkpointFreeCall after connecting AND again after each meaningful chunk of work. Claude Code: reuse claude-code-<client session id>.
palim_delete_memorywrite actionFreePermanently delete one stored memory by ID. Use for user-requested cleanup or deletion; this cannot be undone.
palim_delete_sessionwrite actionFreeDelete a chat session. Soft delete by default (reversible). Use hard_delete=true for permanent deletion.
palim_get_brainFreeDistilled knowledge profile. No args: recent topic index (capped). With topic: full document. Pass limit for a larger or full index.
palim_get_contextFreeGet formatted context for a specific topic by searching and retrieving relevant sessions.
palim_helpFreeShow an overview of all available Palim tools and usage instructions.
palim_resumeFreeContinue the user's most recent Palim thread. Call first in a new chat, no args. Ignore the result if it is unrelated. Project filter is case-insensitive and returns the most recently updated match.
palim_save_contextFreeLightweight checkpoint: self-contained handoff, no transcript. Reuse session_id in this chat. Proactive after results and decisions, not only once.
palim_save_sessionFreeSave or append a full chat transcript (messages + summary). Prefer palim_save_context for compact handoffs. For metadata-only or URL updates use palim_update_session_metadata / palim_update_session_references. When appending: reuse session_id + title, fetch existing messages first, send only new ones. Always pass a complete summary and metadata.tool_source.
palim_searchFreeSearch across all saved sessions. Supports full-text search via query, metadata filtering via tags/project/status/tool_source, or both. Omit query for tags-only or project-only filtering. Project match is case-insensitive.

What the publisher says
From the Palim repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
Palim MCP examples
Copy-paste configs to connect Palim — a hosted MCP memory server — to Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other MCP clients.
Palim stores sessions, decisions, and memories you explicitly save, then makes them searchable from every connected AI client.
Not a local SQLite sidecar. Hosted MCP endpoint. Search today: PostgreSQL full-text + text match (not vector/semantic embeddings).
Quick links
Add to Cursor
One-click MCP install (OAuth on first use). Or copy configs/cursor.mcp.json.
Cursor Marketplace plugin
This repository is the public Cursor plugin source:
- Cursor Plugin manifest: .cursor-plugin/plugin.json
- Agent Plugins package: root plugin.json + mcp.json
- Grok Build / Open Plugins discovery: root .mcp.json (same Palim streamable-http config as mcp.json)
- Skill: skills/palim-memory/SKILL.md
- Logo: assets/logo.svg
After marketplace review, install from Customize → Plugins / cursor.com/marketplace. Until then, use the deep link above or cursor.directory/plugins/palim.
Local test:
mkdir -p ~/.cursor/plugins/local
ln -sfn "$(pwd)" ~/.cursor/plugins/local/palim
# then Developer: Reload WindowIntent pages

Claude Code (OAuth)
claude mcp add --transport http palim https://api.usepalim.com/mcpFirst use opens OAuth. API key alternative:
claude mcp add --transport http palim https://api.usepalim.com/mcp \
--header "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"Also see configs/claude-code.sh.
Cursor (OAuth)
Settings → Tools & MCP → Add server → URL https://api.usepalim.com/mcp, or put this in ~/.cursor/mcp.json / .cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"palim": {
"url": "https://api.usepalim.com/mcp"
}
}
}File: configs/cursor.mcp.json. Restart Cursor after edits. For API key auth, see configs/cursor.api-key.mcp.json.
Claude Desktop / Claude.ai
Add a custom connector / remote MCP:
- URL: https://api.usepalim.com/mcp
- Auth: OAuth (no API key required for that flow)
ChatGPT
- Settings → Apps → Advanced → enable Developer Mode
- Create app → URL https://api.usepalim.com/mcp → Auth: OAuth
- Advanced settings → disable OIDC (otherwise: “Authorization Request Expired” / token exchange failures)
- In each chat, mention @Palim — without that, tools are not available
Perplexity
API key from https://api.usepalim.com/setup. Settings → Connectors → Advanced → paste configs/perplexity.mcp.json and replace YOURAPIKEY.
Smoke test
In any connected client:
Palim HelpYou should get the tool overview. Then save a real session and retrieve it from a second client.
What not to claim
- Semantic / embedding search (not shipped)
- Automatic sync without an explicit save (except documented extension/hooks)
- ChatGPT Memory portability
