It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code CLI, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. The [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external tools and data sources. Instead of copying and pasting between apps, your AI assistant can work with Mem natively. ## Why use Mem MCP? * **Easy setup** - Connect through OAuth, with guided setup for app clients and one-line install for CLI clients * **Full access to your knowledge** - AI tools can read, create, search, and organize your notes and collections * **Optimized for AI** - Built specifically for AI agents with efficient data formatting and semantic search ## What can you do with Mem MCP? * **Capture notes** - Save meeting notes, ideas, and research findings directly from your AI conversation * **Search your knowledge** - Let AI search across all your notes using Mem's semantic search to find relevant information * **Organize with collections** - Create collections, add notes to them, and keep your knowledge structured * **Update and manage notes** - Edit existing notes, trash old ones, or restore previously trashed notes * **Build on your notes** - Ask AI to read your existing notes and use them as context for new work ## Next steps Connect your AI client to Mem in minutes See the current MCP tool surface with example prompts
