Cross-Platform Memory

Use the same memory across:

• Cursor - AI code editor

• ChatGPT - Via MCP

• Claude.ai - Web interface

• Windsurf - Code editor

• Claude Code - CLI tool

• Poe - Multi-model chat

Example workflow: Morning: Plan day in Raycast → Code in Cursor with context → Chat in Claude.ai with history → Review in ChatGPT with full context

Troubleshooting

Not Showing: Verify JSON syntax → Check .json extension → Restart Raycast

OAuth Fails: Check internet → Try different browser → Clear cookies → Disable ad blockers

Connection Error: Re-authenticate → Check beta.memory.store accessible → Verify Node.js installed → Clear npx cache

Not Responding: Use @memory-store tag → Verify "Connected" status → Disconnect/reconnect → Restart Raycast

npx Not Found: Install Node.js from nodejs.org → Add to PATH → Restart terminal

No Memories: Normal for new installs! Memories build as you interact.
