Claude-Mem seamlessly preserves context across sessions by automatically capturing tool usage observations, generating semantic summaries, and making them available to future sessions. This enables Claude to maintain continuity of knowledge about projects even after sessions end or reconnect.
Install with a single command:
npx claude-mem install
Or install for Gemini CLI (auto-detects ~/.gemini):
npx claude-mem install --ide gemini-cli
Or install from the plugin marketplace inside Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add thedotmack/claude-mem
/plugin install claude-mem
Restart Claude Code or Gemini CLI. Context from previous sessions will automatically appear in new sessions.
Note: Claude-Mem is also published on npm, but
npm install -g claude-meminstalls the SDK/library only — it does not register the plugin hooks or set up the worker service. Always install vianpx claude-mem installor the/plugincommands above.
Install claude-mem as a persistent memory plugin on OpenClaw gateways with a single command:
curl -fsSL https://install.cmem.ai/openclaw.sh | bash
The installer handles dependencies, plugin setup, AI provider configuration, worker startup, and optional real-time observation feeds to Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more. See the OpenClaw Integration Guide for details.

Claude-Mem provides intelligent memory search through 4 MCP tools following a token-efficient 3-layer workflow pattern:
The 3-Layer Workflow:
search - Get compact index with IDs (~50-100 tokens/result)timeline - Get chronological context around interesting resultsget_observations - Fetch full details ONLY for filtered IDs (~500-1,000 tokens/result)How It Works:
search to get an index of resultstimeline to see what was happening around specific observationsget_observations to fetch full details for relevant IDsAvailable MCP Tools:
search - Search memory index with full-text queries, filters by type/date/projecttimeline - Get chronological context around a specific observation or queryget_observations - Fetch full observation details by IDs (always batch multiple IDs)Example Usage:
// Step 1: Search for index
search(query="authentication bug", type="bugfix", limit=10)
// Step 2: Review index, identify relevant IDs (e.g., #123, #456)
// Step 3: Fetch full details
get_observations(ids=[123, 456])
See Search Tools Guide for detailed examples.
Claude-Mem offers a beta channel with experimental features like Endless Mode (biomimetic memory architecture for extended sessions). Switch between stable and beta versions from the web viewer UI at http://localhost:37777 → Settings.
See Beta Features Documentation for details on Endless Mode and how to try it.
If you see an error like:
npm : The term 'npm' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
Make sure Node.js and npm are installed and added to your PATH. Download the latest Node.js installer from https://nodejs.org and restart your terminal after installation.
Settings are managed in ~/.claude-mem/settings.json (auto-created with defaults on first run). Configure AI model, worker port, data directory, log level, and context injection settings.
See the Configuration Guide for all available settings and examples.
See the Development Guide for build instructions, testing, and contribution workflow.
