Set up HyperMemory in Codex and ChatGPT
| Where | How |
|---|---|
| Codex (CLI and app) | The HyperMemory plugin |
| ChatGPT | A developer mode connector plus custom instructions |
Codex
Install with one instruction
Paste this into Codex:
Install the HyperMemory plugin from https://github.com/hypermemory-ai/hm-plugins-openai
(first make sure Python 3 and Git are installed on this computer and install them if
they are missing), then start the HyperMemory OAuth sign-in so the authentication page
opens in my browser and wait for me to approve it, and finally download and install the
latest HyperMemory skill.
Codex will:
- Check that Python 3 and Git are installed — the plugin’s hooks use them.
- Add the
hypermemory-aimarketplace and install thehypermemoryplugin. - Open HyperMemory’s sign-in page in your browser. Sign in and approve the connection.
- Fetch the latest HyperMemory skill with
hm_skill.
Then run /hooks in Codex and trust the HyperMemory hooks — Codex skips plugin hooks until you do. See Codex plugin for what the plugin installs and how to update or remove it.
Install it yourself
codex plugin marketplace add hypermemory-ai/hm-plugins-openai
codex plugin add hypermemory@hypermemory-ai
Sign in when Codex asks, then trust the hooks with /hooks.
ChatGPT
ChatGPT connects to HyperMemory as a custom MCP connector in developer mode, on the ChatGPT plans that support custom connectors.
Turn on developer mode
In ChatGPT, open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode.
Add the connector
Create a connector named HyperMemory with the MCP server URL and OAuth authentication:
Sign in
ChatGPT opens HyperMemory's sign-in page. Sign in and approve the connection.
Add the instructions
Copy the custom instructions from the Integration page in the HyperMemory dashboard into Settings → Personalization → Custom instructions. They tell ChatGPT to recall before replying and to save what it learns.
Use it in a chat
In each new chat, select HyperMemory from the tools menu.
ChatGPT asks you to confirm write actions such as hm_store; you can allow them for the rest of the conversation. ChatGPT doesn’t expose token counts, so its hm_tokens reports are estimates.
Verify
Ask:
What do you know about me?
The agent should call hm_recall before answering.
