From the repository
Install using uv for better performance and isolation:
uv tool install cursor-memory-mcp
For development and contributing:
bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/cursor-memory-mcp.git
cd cursor-memory-mcp
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS
pip install -e ".[dev]"
uv tool install cursor-memory-mcp
For development with local installation:
json{
"mcpServers": {
"cursor-memory-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"path/to/cloned/cursor-memory-mcp",
"run",
"cursor-memory-mcp",
]
}
}
}
```
task_name
must contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens
task_summary
cannot be empty or whitespace only
Parameter
Type
task_description
string
project_path
string
uv tool update-shell
```
step1 . cursor settings --> MCP --> add configuration (reffered later)
step2 . cursor settings --> RULES --> add user rule:
cursor memory
After task execution is completed, use to track task execution records`
step3 . call agent to help you with coding
when you dev step by step, proj rules will record cursor operation history, and when cursor need them, it will reffer it and do your job with memory.
The server provides one powerful tool for memory management:
Create project memory files with comprehensive context:
`python`
result = await call_tool("create_cursor_memory", {
"task_summary": "实现了用户认证系统,包括JWT token生成、密码加密验证和权限管理功能",
"task_name": "user_authentication_system",
"task_description": "用户认证和授权系统实现"
})
task_summary
Parameters:
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|-----------|------|----------|-------------|
| | string | ✅ | 详细的任务执行上下文总结 |task_name
| | string | ✅ | 简短的任务名称(用作文件名) |task_description
| | string | ⚪ | 可选的详细任务描述 |project_path
| | string | ✅ | 当前项目的绝对路径 |task_name
Validation Rules:
- must contain only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphenstask_summary` cannot be empty or whitespace only
-
- Files are automatically timestamped if duplicates exist
