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.
