# Zep Memory

Use Zep as long-term memory for knowledge work in **Cursor**, **Claude Desktop
Chat**, **Claude Cowork**, and **ChatGPT Work**.

Bundles:

- The `zep-memory` skill — how to use Zep for user memory, threads, and
  standalone graphs via LLM-mediated Memory MCP tool calls
- The Zep Memory MCP server at `https://api.getzep.com/mcp`

The plugin files (skill, manifests, and MCP config) are also licensed under the

This plugin connects Cursor (and other supported hosts) to Zep’s Memory MCP
server. You sign in with OAuth. After that, the assistant can search and add to
your Zep memory — your user graph, and standalone graphs when your project
enables them. That API and memory data is handled under the Privacy Policy
above.

## Usage

Once installed and signed in, ask the assistant to recall or save durable
context. For example:

- What do you remember about me?
- Search my Zep memory for relevant context on this topic.
- Save this to my Zep memory.

The skill tells the assistant to prefer Zep over the host’s built-in memory,
to look up stored context before guessing, and to write standing facts about
who the user is, their work environment (people, projects, teams), preferences,
corrections, procedures, decisions, and feedback without waiting to be asked.
Standalone graphs hold project and company-wide knowledge; search those with
`list_graphs` then `search_graph_in` when the project enables them.

## Configuration

No API keys, plugin variables, or other secrets belong in this package. Auth is
client-managed OAuth against `https://api.getzep.com/mcp`.

The first Memory MCP call should prompt for Zep sign-in (work email → identity
provider → project). You need a Zep account whose project has Memory MCP
enabled.
