Shared across agents

Every agent you connect reads and writes one file, ~/.memorylayer/memories.db. A decision made in Cursor today is there when Claude Code asks tomorrow.

Two ways to connect

SSE one shared server

Claude CodeCursor…

memorylayer startlocalhost:7400/sse

memories.db~/.memorylayer

stdio no server to run

Your agent

memorylayer --stdiokey via MEMORY_API_KEY

memories.dbsame file

SSE shares one running server between agents; stdio needs no server. Both write the same file.

stdio — what setup writes

The agent starts MemoryLayer itself and passes your key in the environment.

~/.claude.json

{"mcpServers": {"memorylayer": {"command": "memorylayer","args": ["--stdio"],"env": { "MEMORY_API_KEY": "sk-ml-your-key-here" }}}}

SSE — one server for every agent

Start the server and leave it running (memorylayer --key on its own only saves the key), then point each agent at it:

Terminal

memorylayer start --key sk-ml-your-key-herecurl http://localhost:7400/health   # → {"status":"ok","transport":"sse",...}

~/.claude.json

{"mcpServers": {"memorylayer": { "url": "http://localhost:7400/sse" }}}

Check it works

Code

# Agent A stores:remember({ content: "prefers dark mode", namespace: "user" }) # Agent B recalls:recall({ query: "UI preferences", namespace: "user", preview: true })
