# Install memex

## ⚠ For ClawHub reviewers, security scanners, and curious users

This skill is an **installer for memex** — a local-first MCP memory server.
Static scanners flag several patterns as "suspicious"; every single one is
intentional and necessary for installing a memory tool. Below is the full
list so a human reviewer (or the user) can verify legitimacy in one glance.

**What the skill instructs the agent to do:**

| Action | Why | Source-of-truth |
|---|---|---|
| `curl -fsSL https://memex.parallelclaw.ai/install.sh \| bash` | Fast-path installer (the user can `\| less` first to inspect) | [docs/install.sh](https://github.com/parallelclaw/memex-mvp/blob/main/docs/install.sh) — open-source bash, hosted on GitHub Pages |
| `npm install -g memex-mvp` | Manual install (fallback if user declines the curl) | [npmjs.com/package/memex-mvp](https://www.npmjs.com/package/memex-mvp), source: [github.com/parallelclaw/memex-mvp](https://github.com/parallelclaw/memex-mvp) |
| `echo 'export PATH=...' >> ~/.zshrc` | EACCES auto-fix — moves npm prefix to `~/.npm-global` so `npm install -g` works without sudo. **Idempotent** — re-running is safe. | Standard npm prefix workaround [docs.npmjs.com](https://docs.npmjs.com/resolving-eacces-permissions-errors-when-installing-packages-globally) |
| `sudo npm install -g memex-mvp` | Offered as Plan A on EACCES if user explicitly wants quick (not default — skill recommends the no-sudo prefix fix). Skill **never runs sudo without explicit user "yes"**. | — |
| `memex-sync install` (LaunchAgent) | Registers a macOS LaunchAgent so memex daemon auto-starts on login. **The daemon itself is local-only**: it watches `~/.claude/projects/`, `~/Downloads/Telegram Desktop/`, etc., and writes to `~/.memex/data/memex.db`. Zero outbound network traffic. | LaunchAgent plist at `~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.parallelclaw.memex.sync.plist` is human-readable |
| Edit `~/.claude/settings.json`, `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, etc. | Adds the MCP-server entry so the use

# 📚 Install memex — cross-AI memory in 2 minutes

> One prompt sets up local-first AI memory across **Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Zed** — plus Obsidian notes and Telegram chats. No cloud. No account. No data leaves your machine.

## What this skill does

After you drop the skill into your agent (`~/.claude/skills/` for Claude Code, or your client's equivalent), saying **"install memex"** triggers a guided installation:

1. **Discovery** — read-only checks for which MCP client you're using and what AI data already exists on your machine
2. **Fast path (v1.1+)** — `curl -fsSL https://memex.parallelclaw.ai/install.sh | bash`: one hosted bash script does npm install (with EACCES auto-fix to `~/.npm-global`), daemon setup, v0.8 auto-context hook, history backfill, and `claude mcp add memex` if Claude Code CLI is on PATH. Idempotent.
3. **Fallback: manual five-step** — if curl fails, the user declines, or the agent is inside a GUI client (Cursor/Cline/Continue/Zed) where the MCP config still needs editing: `npm install -g memex-mvp` → MCP config merge → `memex-sync install` → `memex-sync scan`.
4. **MCP config merge** (only needed for GUI clients) — adds a single absolute-path `command` entry into your client's `mcpServers` config. Never overwrites your other servers.
5. **Restart hint + verification commands** — including the v0.7+ CLI fallback (`memex overview`, `memex search "foo"`) so you can verify memex works even if MCP didn't wire up cleanly.

End-to-end: **~60 seconds** via fast path, **~2 minutes** via manual flow, fully observable (agent shows each command before running).

## What is memex?

Memex is a **local-first MCP server** that captures every conversation you have with an AI — across **Claude Code, Cowork (including subagent transcripts), Cursor, Cline, Continue, Zed**, plus **Obsidian notes**, **Telegram chats**, and **web pages / AI chat shares** (v0.6+ via `memex_store_document` — agent fetches, memex stores verbatim) — into one searchable SQLite + FTS5 corpus.

Any MCP-compatible agent can then query that corpus through 18 standard tools (`memex_search`, `memex_recent`, `memex_overview`, `memex_store_document`, the `memex_telegram_*` family for v0.10+ chat capture, …).

| Pain                                            | Memex                                |
|-------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| Claude forgets every session                    | One unified history across all sessions, all clients |
| Switching from Claude Code to Cursor = lost context | Cursor can read your Claude history (same SQLite DB) |
| Cloud memory services hold your data hostage    | One `~/.memex/data/memex.db` file on your disk       |
| Mem0 / Supermemory pricing per token            | 0 LLM calls on write — free at any scale             |
| Vendor ban = lose everything                    | Your DB stays even if Claude blocks your account     |

# Example dialogues

Sample interactions when the user invokes this skill. These show typical happy paths and how the skill handles common edge cases.

> **Note (v1.1+):** The skill now leads with the **fast-path one-liner** (`curl -fsSL https://memex.parallelclaw.ai/install.sh | bash`) after Discovery — see Example 0 below. The legacy five-step examples (1–5 below) stay as the fallback when the agent is inside a GUI client (Cursor / Cline / Continue / Zed — still need step 2 manually after the script), the user declines curl, or the script fails.

## Example 0 · Fast path on Claude Code CLI (v1.1+)

> **User:** install memex
>
> **Agent:** 👋 You're running inside Claude Code CLI. Let me run a quick discovery first.
>
> ```
> ✓ Found Claude Code data at ~/.claude/projects/ (14 sessions)
> ✓ Found Cowork sessions (5 subagent transcripts)
> ✗ Cursor data not found
> ✗ Continue / Zed not found
> ```
>
> After install, memex will auto-index conversations from: **Claude Code, Cowork**. v0.10+ also auto-detects Telegram Desktop exports — when you export a chat, I'll ask which to import.
>
> The fast path is a single hosted bash script that does **npm install (with EACCES auto-fix), daemon setup, Brian Chesky auto-context hook, history backfill, and `claude mcp add memex`** all in one go. Idempotent. Want me to run:
>
> ```sh
> curl -fsSL https://memex.parallelclaw.ai/install.sh | bash
> ```
>
> **User:** ok
>
> **Agent:** [runs the curl command, streams output]
>
> ```
> ▸ memex one-line installer
> ▸ Node v20.11.1 — ok
> ▸ Installing memex-mvp from npm...
> ✓ memex 0.9.0 ready at /Users/you/.npm-global/bin/memex
> ▸ Installing memex-sync (LaunchAgent + auto-context hook)...
> ✓ daemon running (PID 41872)
> ✓ Brian Chesky auto-context hook added to ~/.claude/settings.json
> ▸ Backfilling history (memex-sync scan)...
> ✓ 87 conversations indexed
> ▸ Wiring MCP into Claude Code...
> ✓ claude mcp add memex — done
> ▸ All set. Quit Claude Code (Cmd+Q) and reopen any project. Memex will inject prior context before your first message.
> ```
>
> All five steps done in ~25 seconds. Quit Claude Code (Cmd+Q) and reopen — when you open any project you've worked in, memex will inject relevant context before you even type. Try: `memex overview` from terminal to confirm.

## Example 1 · Happy path on a fresh Cursor install

> **User:** install memex
>
> **Agent:** 👋 You're running inside Cursor. Let me run a quick discovery before any install actions...
>
> ```
> ✓ Found Claude Code data at ~/.claude/projects/ (12 sessions)
> ✓ Found Cowork sessions (4 subagent transcripts)
> ✓ Cursor data found — I'll write MCP config to ~/.cursor/mcp.json
> ✗ Continue config not found
> ✗ Zed config not found
> ```
>
> After install, memex will auto-index conversations from: **Claude Code, Cowork, Cursor**. v0.10+ Telegram capture also kicks in automatically — when you export a chat from Telegram Desktop, I'll ask which to import. If you also use Obsidian, we can wire

## Description:

Make Claude, Cursor, Cline, Continue, and Zed remember every AI conversation forever by guiding installation of memex, a local-first MCP memory server backed by a shared SQLite corpus.

This skill is ready for commercial/non-commercial use.

## Publisher:

[sedelev](https://clawhub.ai/user/sedelev)

### License/Terms of Use:

MIT-0

## Use Case:

Developers and MCP-compatible agent users use this skill to install and configure memex so AI conversation history, selected chat exports, and related local data can be indexed and searched across supported clients.

### Deployment Geography for Use:

Global

## Known Risks and Mitigations:

Risk: The fast install path executes a remote installer and can modify local tool configuration.

Mitigation: Inspect the installer or use the documented manual path, review each command before execution, and confirm config changes before writing them.

Risk: The installed memory service can index sensitive AI conversations, chat exports, and local files selected through supported capture flows.

Mitigation: Confirm which sources will be watched, import sensitive chats only with explicit consent, and skip sources that should not be available to future agents.

Risk: Automatic context injection can surface prior conversation content to future agent sessions.

Mitigation: Decline or disable auto-context unless automatic memory injection is desired, and verify the installed hook or client behavior after setup.

Risk: Using sudo for global npm installation can expand the impact of a bad or compromised package install.

Mitigation: Prefer a user-level npm prefix or another non-sudo Node package management setup.
