--- title: Memoir MCP — Personal memory for Cursor and your AI Agent url: https://memoir.florent-tech.com/ updated: 2026-09-26 --- # Memoir — Personal memory for AI Your life. Remembered. **Memoir is a personal memory layer for AI: a remote MCP server that lets an AI Agent such as Cursor save what matters about your life and recall it in any future conversation.** Memoir is a remote MCP server that gives your AI Agent a private, long-term memory of your life. Tell Cursor about your day; in any new chat it recalls what matters and answers with your history instead of generic advice. EU-hosted, never trained on, €4.99/month. ## Key facts - **What it is:** Remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) - **Works with:** Cursor today; any MCP client next - **Tools:** 4 — capture, ask, forget, who am I - **Recall budget:** Up to 8 Memories per question - **Data region:** EU, Ireland - **Price:** €4.99 / month, one plan ## How it works 1. **Talk** — Tell your Agent about your day, in your own words. No form, no fields, no app to open. 2. **Remember** (`memoir_capture`) — Your Agent packages what matters — kind, date, title, body, a quote — and Memoir saves it as a Memory. Corrections Amend the Memory instead of duplicating it. 3. **Ask** (`memoir_ask`) — In any later chat, ask about yourself. Memoir returns up to 8 relevant Memories with provenance, never the whole Vault. 4. **Understand** — Your Agent reads patterns across Memories on demand. Patterns are never stored as if they were observed life. Questions you can ask later, in a brand-new chat: - "Why do I procrastinate so much?" - "Have I actually progressed this month?" - "What seems to make me happiest?" - "Why did I decide to leave that job?" ## Supported clients - Cursor: Available - Claude: Next - ChatGPT: Planned - Any MCP client: Planned ## MCP tools | Tool | What it does | Input | |---|---|---| | `memoir_capture` | Saves a structured Memory of your life, or Amends one you corrected. | kind, title, body, happened_on?, quote?, amends? | | `memoir_ask` | Recalls the Memories relevant to a question about your life, history, patterns or decisions. | question, since?, until?, kinds? | | `memoir_forget` | Removes a Memory from all future Recall, immediately. | memory_id or a short description | | `memoir_who_am_i` | Returns your Standing Card: who you are now, goals, people, preferences. | none | ## Memory kinds | Kind | What it is | Example | |---|---|---| | episode | Something that happened | Skipped the run on Tuesday | | person | Someone in your life | Marie wants evenings back | | decision | A choice and its why | Left the job because the hours ate the evenings | | preference | How you like to live or work | Deep work before noon or it doesn't happen | | goal | What you're trying to do | Run three times a week | | feeling | How a moment felt | Shame after cancelling on Marie | ## Install in Cursor 1. **Get a token.** Sign in to Memoir with a magic link and mint a Cursor token for your Vault. 2. **Add Memoir to Cursor.** Paste the snippet into ~/.cursor/mcp.json and replace the placeholder with your token. 3. **Reload MCP.** Reload MCP in Cursor. Four tools appear: memoir_capture, memoir_ask, memoir_forget and memoir_who_am_i. 4. **Just talk.** Tell Agent chat about your day.

Memoir never reads your inbox, calendar, repo or screen. It only knows what you chose to say. - **Never trained on, never sold.** Your Vault is never used to train any model. No ads, no data sales, no “improve Memoir with your life” toggle. - **EU-hosted, one Vault per Person.** Stored in Ireland with row-level security. Tokens are hashed, scoped to one Vault and revocable. Logs never contain Memory text. ## Memoir compared | | Memoir | Built-in chat memory | Journal app | RAG / vector toolkit | |---|---|---|---|---| | Remembers across new chats | Yes | Partly | No | If you build it | | Portable across AI clients | Yes, over MCP | No — locked to one app | No | If you build it | | You never fill a form | Yes | Yes | No | — | | Structured Memories with dates | Yes | No | Free text | Chunks | | Forget + full Export | Yes | Varies | Varies | DIY | | Built for your life, not code | Yes | Mixed | Yes | No | ## Pricing €4.99 per month.

Memoir is a personal memory layer for AI: a remote MCP server that lets an AI Agent such as Cursor save what matters about your life and recall it in any future conversation. You talk about your life in a normal chat; Memoir stores the parts that matter as structured Memories; later your Agent recalls them to give you answers based on your own history. ### What is an MCP memory server? MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI Agents call external tools. An MCP memory server exposes tools to save and retrieve memories, so an Agent like Cursor can remember things between conversations. Memoir is a hosted MCP memory server focused on your personal life rather than your code. ### How do I give Cursor a long-term memory? Add Memoir as a remote MCP server: mint a token, paste the Memoir entry into ~/.cursor/mcp.json, and reload MCP. Cursor then gets four tools — memoir_capture, memoir_ask, memoir_forget and memoir_who_am_i — and a rule that tells the Agent when to use them. ### Does Cursor remember my previous chats by default? Not your life. Each new Cursor chat starts without your personal history. With Memoir connected, the Agent recalls relevant Memories from your Vault before answering questions about you. ### Is Memoir a journal app? No. A journal is something you open and write in. Memoir lives inside a conversation you are already having with your Agent: you talk, the Agent packages what matters, and Memoir remembers it. There is no form to fill in. ### How is Memoir different from ChatGPT's or Claude's built-in memory? Built-in memory belongs to one app. Memoir is a separate Vault you own, reached over the open MCP standard, so the same memory is designed to work across Clients. Memories are structured (kind, date, title, body, quote), you can Forget any of them, and you can Export everything as markdown. ### How is Memoir different from OpenMemory or Mem0? Mem0's OpenMemory MCP is a general-purpose memory layer for AI tools, built for developers who want to run and manage memory themselves. Memoir is deliberately narrower: memory of your life — episodes, people, decisions, preferences, goals and feelings — hosted for you in the EU, with no setup beyond pasting a token. ### Where is my data stored? In the EU, in Ireland (Supabase Postgres, eu-west-1). Each Person has exactly one Vault; nothing is ever shared across Vaults. Tokens are hashed at rest and revocable. ### Does Memoir train AI models on my data? No. Your Vault is never used to train a model — Memoir's or anyone else's. Memoir does not call a model at all: your own Agent does the thinking, and Recall sends it a small slice of your history, never the whole Vault. ### What happens when I Forget something? The Memory disappears from Recall immediately. Just say “forget that” to your Agent, which calls memoir_forget. Permanent erasure of the underlying Capture is available from your Vault, not from the Agent, so an Agent can never wipe your life by accident. ### Does Memoir read my code or my repository? No. Memoir remembers your life, not your repo. The Cursor rule explicitly tells the Agent not to capture code, repository details or secrets. ### How much does Memoir cost? €4.99 per month, one plan: unlimited Capture, Recall and Forget, one EU-hosted Vault, and full Export at any time.
