Cursor
Add HyperMemory to Cursor as an MCP server with the Cursor skill
Install with one instruction
Paste this into Cursor’s agent:
Add the HyperMemory MCP server https://api.hypermemory.io/mcp to my ~/.cursor/mcp.json
(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 the latest
HyperMemory skill for Cursor and install it at ~/.cursor/skills/hypermemory/SKILL.md.
If Cursor can’t open the sign-in page itself, open Cursor Settings → MCP and choose Login next to HyperMemory.
Or set it up by hand:
1. Add the MCP server
Add HyperMemory to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (all projects) or .cursor/mcp.json (one project):
{
"mcpServers": {
"hypermemory": {
"url": "https://api.hypermemory.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Open Cursor Settings → MCP. HyperMemory appears with a Login button; sign in and approve the connection.
To use an API key instead of OAuth:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hypermemory": {
"url": "https://api.hypermemory.io/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer hm_YOUR_KEY" }
}
}
}
2. Install the Cursor skill
Download the HyperMemory skill for Cursor from app.hypermemory.io/hypermemory-cursor-skill.md and save it as:
~/.cursor/skills/hypermemory/SKILL.md
Or ask Cursor’s agent:
Fetch the HyperMemory skill with hm_skill variant “cursor” and save it verbatim to ~/.cursor/skills/hypermemory/SKILL.md.
The skill tells the agent to recall before replying and to store what it learns.
Verify
In Agent mode, ask:
What do you know about this project?
The agent should call hm_recall before answering.
