xmem-cursor

Cursor MCP connector for XMem persistent memory and code context.

This package connects Cursor to XMem through the XMem MCP server. It writes local connector configuration and agent-facing memory instructions, while keeping XMem credentials in environment variables.

Install

npx xmem-cursor@latest install

For local development:

node src/cli.js install --config-root ./tmp/cursor

Authentication

Set credentials in your shell, OS secret store, or the client environment before launching Cursor:

export XMEM_API_URL="https://api.xmem.in"
export XMEM_API_KEY="xmem_..."
export XMEM_USERNAME="your-xmem-username"

The installer intentionally writes ${XMEM_API_KEY} as a placeholder instead of copying secret values into config files.

Commands

Command	Description
install	Write .cursor/mcp.json and Cursor rule.
doctor	Check whether generated connector files exist.
smoke-test	Verify XMem API access via environment variables without printing secrets.

Smoke test

XMEM_API_KEY="xmem_..." XMEM_USERNAME="connector-test" npm run smoke

The smoke test calls XMem search with a low-risk read query. It never logs the API key.

Notes

• Requires the XMem MCP server to be available as uvx xmem-mcp.
• Uses stdio transport by default for local agent clients.
• You can override the API URL with --api-url during install.
