Claude Code Setup

Configure MemPad with Claude Code CLI for persistent AI memory.

Prerequisites

Claude Code installed
A MemPad account (request access if you don't have one)

Installation

Claude Code has native Streamable HTTP and OAuth support. Add MemPad with a single command:

claude mcp add --transport http mempad https://api.mempad.ai/mcp

That's it! No additional configuration needed.

Authentication

The first time you use MemPad, your browser will open for OAuth authentication:

Sign in with your MemPad email and password
Approve the authorization request
Return to your terminal - you're authenticated!

Note: OAuth requires browser access. If you're in a headless environment (SSH, containers), authenticate on a machine with a browser first.

Usage

Once configured, use these commands in your Claude Code sessions:

mp!

Load your memory into the conversation

mp:

Save the current context to your memory

Example Session

You: mp!
Claude: Memory loaded. You prefer TypeScript with strict mode,
you're building a Next.js app, and you like concise responses.

You: I'm now also using tRPC for the API
Claude: Got it! I've added tRPC to your preferences. mp:

Memory saved.

Troubleshooting

Verify Installation

Check that MemPad is configured:

claude mcp list

You should see mempad in the list.

Remove and Re-add

If you're having issues, try removing and re-adding:

claude mcp remove mempad
claude mcp add --transport http mempad https://api.mempad.ai/mcp
