Claude Code and Cursor plugin

The Smritea plugin gives an AI coding assistant memory that lasts across sessions. For Claude Code, it adds slash commands, a session-start hook, a skill and the MCP tools. For Cursor, it adds the MCP tools, a rule and a skill.

CommandsCopy Anchor Link

The plugin adds four slash commands to Claude Code. The table says what each command does.

What the session hook doesCopy Anchor Link

When a Claude Code session starts, the plugin runs a hook. The hook searches your selected app for relevant memories and adds the top 10 to the session as context.

• If you set a project name, the search keeps only memories with the same project_name metadata. The add_memory tool adds that metadata for you. A memory you added through an SDK or the API has no project_name, so the hook skips it.
• If you have not selected an app, or you are not logged in, the hook prints a message that says what to run.
• If the hook fails, it prints a warning. It never blocks your session.

Cursor installationCopy Anchor Link

The Cursor package holds the MCP configuration, an always-on rule and a skill. The rule makes the assistant search memories at the start of each conversation.

Choose one way to install it:

• On Teams or Enterprise, an admin imports https://github.com/SmrutAI/smritea-plugin as a team marketplace. Members then install smritea.
• For a local copy, copy the cursor/ folder of the plugin repository to ~/.cursor/plugins/local/smritea. Then run Developer: Reload Window. On Teams or Enterprise, an admin must allow local plugin imports.

Cursor does not get the session-start hook or the slash commands. It relies on the rule to search memories. You also need to log in and pick an app. Run npx -y smritea-mcp login and npx -y smritea-mcp configure in a terminal.

SettingsCopy Anchor Link

The plugin reads the same files as the MCP server: ~/.smritea/settings.json and ~/.smritea/auth.json. It does not read environment variables. If your app is in India, set memory_base_url in settings.json. See Regions.
