Cursor
Install Nowledge Mem from Cursor Marketplace and bring Working Memory, memory recall, and handoff summaries into Cursor in minutes.
Marketplace-first path
The intended path is Cursor Marketplace: install Nowledge Mem, open a new agent session, and only touch MCP settings if you want Cursor to talk to a remote Mem server.
If the listing is not visible yet
Treat the marketplace flow below as the primary path. If Nowledge Mem is not visible to your account yet, use the repository fallback at the end of this page.
Cursor is the right home for a Nowledge Mem plugin package because Cursor plugins can bundle rules, skills, and MCP configuration into one product surface.
Before You Start
- Nowledge Mem running locally (installation) or a reachable remote Mem server
- Cursor IDE installed
- Optional but recommended:
nmemin yourPATHif you want resumable handoff creation through the terminal tool
If Nowledge Mem is already running on the same machine through the desktop app, the easiest path is Settings -> Preferences -> Developer Tools -> Install CLI. That gives Cursor access to nmem for explicit handoff creation.
One-Minute Setup
Open Cursor -> Marketplace and search for Nowledge Mem.
Click Install.
Start a new agent session.
For the default same-machine setup, the bundled plugin assets are the intended zero-config path:
- plugin manifest
- rule
- skills
- local
.mcp.json
Only if you use remote Mem, open Settings (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+J) -> Features -> Model Context Protocol and update the nowledge-mem server URL and headers.
What You Get
- Bundled
.cursor-plugin/plugin.json - Bundled
.mcp.jsonfor local Nowledge Mem MCP connectivity - An always-on rule for Working Memory, routed recall, distillation, and handoff semantics
- Four skills:
read-working-memory,search-memory,distill-memory, andsave-handoff
What Users Usually Care About
For a fresh install, the important answers are simple:
- local Mem: install the plugin and start a new session
- remote Mem: install the plugin, then update the
nowledge-memMCP server URL and headers - explicit resumable handoff: keep
nmeminstalled so Cursor can call it through the terminal tool when needed
Important Constraint
This package intentionally does not expose save-thread.
Nowledge Mem does not yet have a first-class live Cursor session importer here, so summary-only behavior must stay named save-handoff, not save-thread. That keeps the behavior clear today and leaves room for a future real thread-save surface when the runtime support exists.
If The Listing Is Not Visible Yet
Use the repository package as the manual-validation fallback:
git clone https://github.com/nowledge-co/community.git
cd community/nowledge-mem-cursor-pluginThis package is already arranged in Cursor's plugin format:
.cursor-plugin/plugin.json
rules/nowledge-mem.mdc
skills/*/SKILL.md
.mcp.jsonCursor's public docs center marketplace installation and repository submission. Treat the repository package as the fallback for manual validation, not as a stable public local-folder install workflow.
