- Download the extension from nowled.ge/claude-dxt
- Double-click the
.mcpbfile - Click Install in the dialog
- Restart Claude Desktop once
Requirements
- Claude Desktop app on macOS or Windows
- No separate Python or Node install required
- Local Nowledge Mem app, or a reachable remote Mem server
Usage
Ask Claude to save insights, search your memories, or update existing knowledge during any conversation.
Remote Access
The extension uses the same shared config file as the nmem CLI for remote access. If you're using Access Anywhere from the desktop app on the same machine, this is usually configured automatically. Otherwise, create:
- macOS / Linux:
~/.nowledge-mem/config.json - Windows:
%USERPROFILE%\\.nowledge-mem\\config.json
{
"apiUrl": "https://mem.example.com",
"apiKey": "nmem_your_key"
}
Use your server root URL in apiUrl. If you already have an older config ending in /remote-api or /mcp, the extension still accepts it.
