Setup

Connect Lodekeep to Cursor

Cursor reads MCP servers from a config file. Your key is stored separately, so it never sits in the Cursor file.

Any Cursor plan. Store your key once, then add one block to a config file. Requires the Max or Team plan on Lodekeep: coding-agent clients are a paid surface. Chat clients (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok) work on every plan.

  1. Sign in once on this machine. This saves your key to ~/.lodekeep/config.json.
  2. Step 1, sign in once
    npx lodekeep@latest connect
  3. Add Lodekeep to Cursor→

    Opens Cursor with the server prefilled. Click Install and approve the sign-in.

  4. Prefer the UI? Open Customize in the sidebar, click MCPs, then Add to Cursor. Or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json by hand with the block below, keeping any servers already in it.
  5. ~/.cursor/mcp.json (remote, no install needed)
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "lodekeep": {
      "url": "https://lodekeep.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  6. ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    {
  "mcpServers": {
    "lodekeep": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "lodekeep", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
  7. Restart Cursor so it picks the server up.

Check it worked

Say “Remember this: my test phrase is gold vein.” Then open a different AI you have connected and ask “what is my test phrase?” If it answers gold vein, the same memory is reaching both.

Questions about Cursor

What plan do I need?
Any Cursor plan works on Cursor's side. Lodekeep requires Max or Team, because coding-agent clients are a paid surface here. Chat clients like Claude and ChatGPT work on every Lodekeep plan.
How do I connect it?
Run npx lodekeep@latest connect once to store your key, then add the lodekeep entry to ~/.cursor/mcp.json and restart Cursor.
Does my API key go in the Cursor config file?
No. Signing in saves it to ~/.lodekeep/config.json, so it never lands in the Cursor file you might share or commit.
How do I check it is connected?
Ask Cursor “what do you remember about me?” after restarting. If the server is wired up it answers from your memory.
Can Cursor and Claude share the same memory?
Yes. A decision captured in Cursor is readable in Claude, ChatGPT or any other connected client.
Will it pick up my whole codebase?
No. Lodekeep stores what you deliberately capture, not everything it sees. That is the difference from tools that hoover up every message.
What if I already have other MCP servers configured?
Keep them. Add the lodekeep entry alongside the existing ones in the same mcpServers object.
