Cursor

Integration via MCP Server — 7 tools, seamless memory.

Setup

Cursor supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. BrainBase registers itself as an MCP server that Cursor can call for memory operations.

bash
$ brainbase init
Detected: Cursor
Registering MCP server... done

How it works

BrainBase runs as an MCP server using stdio JSON-RPC. Cursor calls BrainBase's 7 tools automatically:

  • memory_process_message — called with every message (this is how the brain learns)
  • memory_context — retrieves relevant context for the current conversation
  • memory_search — searches the knowledge graph
  • memory_add — stores new knowledge
  • memory_related — discovers connected memories
  • memory_status — brain health check
  • memory_remind — prospective memory triggers

Troubleshooting

MCP not connecting? Check that brainbase is in your PATH and the watcher is running. Restart Cursor after running brainbase init.
