memsprout
shared AI-context layer for teams — persistent memory your agents search and update over MCP
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).
claude mcp add --transport http memsprout 'https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp'
{
"mcpServers": {
"memsprout": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp"

memsprout for AI agents
memsprout is a shared AI-context layer for teams —
persistent memory your agents search and update over MCP. Every agent and
tool you connect reads and writes the same knowledge base, so context
survives across sessions, models, and clients. This repo packages the
connection two ways: a Claude Code plugin (remote MCP server + a usage
skill) and a standalone Agent Skill that works
in any client that reads SKILL.md.
Before you install
Create an account at memsprout.com first. The OAuth sign-in that opens when a client first connects does not create accounts — it only signs in existing ones.
One-command setup
npx memsprout
Detects your installed MCP clients (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI,
Cursor), wires each selected one to the server, and offers to scaffold
the team files into your repo. Non-destructive, idempotent, stores no
credentials. Source in installer/. Not yet published to
npm — until it is, use the per-client instructions below.
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add memsprout/agents
/plugin install memsprout@memsprout
The plugin adds the memsprout MCP server and the using-memsprout skill.
The first connection opens the browser OAuth flow.
claude.ai and Claude Desktop
Add memsprout as a custom connector: Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector, with the server URL below. Sign in when the memsprout consent screen opens.
Agent Skill via skills.sh
npx skills add memsprout/agents
Installs the using-memsprout skill, which teaches your agent when and
how to use memsprout's tools. You still need the MCP server connected
(see below) — the skill describes the doctrine; the server provides the
tools.
Cursor
The cursor/ directory has copy-in files for both motions:
merge cursor/mcp.json into ~/.cursor/mcp.json for yourself, or commit
it as .cursor/mcp.json plus the cursor/rules/memsprout.mdc project
rule to your team's repo so every teammate's Cursor shares the same
memory. See cursor/README.md.
Codex
codex mcp add memsprout --url https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp
The Codex CLI, IDE extension, and ChatGPT desktop app share
~/.codex/config.toml, so this one command wires all three. For team
setup, append the client-agnostic
codex/AGENTS-snippet.md to your repo's
AGENTS.md so every AGENTS.md-reading agent follows the team's memory
doctrine. See codex/README.md.
Any other MCP client
Point your client at the remote server:
https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp
Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1 — clients that support MCP authorization discover the sign-in flow automatically. Per-client wiring instructions (Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and more) are at memsprout.com/connect.

How do I install memsprout?
It runs as a remote server. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http memsprout 'https://mcp.memsprout.com/mcp'. For other clients, paste the JSON configuration from this page into their MCP settings.
Does memsprout need an API key?
Its registry entry lists no required key or secret. Some features may still need an account with the service it connects to.
Is memsprout open source?
Yes. Its code is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Who maintains memsprout?
It is published by memsprout. AI.tn lists it but does not maintain or endorse it.
From the official MCP Registry. Listing is not an endorsement: review a server's code and permissions before giving it access to your data.
