Quick Start
mcp-name: io.github.lanbass869-cell/memtether
# 1. Install
pip install memtether
# 2. Initialize (creates a demo memory DB)
memtether init
# 3. Connect all detected AI clients (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
memtether connect --allTry it:
memtether search "shared memory"
memtether remember "my first shared memory"
memtether statsOr on Windows, double-click install.bat for one-click setup.
More install options
# From source
git clone https://github.com/MemTether/MemTether.git && cd MemTether && pip install -e .
# With semantic search (local embedding, no cloud)
pip install "memtether[vector]"
# With REST API server
pip install "memtether[server]"
# Docker
docker build -t memtether . && docker run -p 8420:8420 -v ./data:/app/data memtether
docker-compose upTry it without installing:
python scripts/make_demo_db.py
MEM_DB=~/.memtether/demo.db python mem.py search "shared memory"Why MemTether
The problem
You use Claude Code for coding, Cursor for refactoring, and Windsurf for exploration. Each has its own memory. Switch tools and your AI forgets everything.
MemTether's answer is simpler than you'd expect: make them all point to the same file.
