claude-mem claude-mem
claude-mem is a persistent-memory system for coding agents. It captures tool-usage observations during a session, compresses them with AI into semantic summaries, and injects the relevant context back into future sessions so the agent keeps continuity of project knowledge after a session ends or reconnects. Originally built for Claude Code, it now installs for OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, OpenClaw, Grok Bot and other agents.
The repository passed 94,000 GitHub stars and trended on GitHub in September 2026; it added installers for Grok Bot and Antigravity CLI plus an optional hosted CMEM Pro tier, and Reddit threads in r/ClaudeCode and r/ClaudeAI discuss real-world usage and a Kaspersky false-positive warning on Windows.
As of
- Automatic capture of tool-usage observations and AI-compressed session summaries
- Context from previous sessions injected automatically into new sessions
- One-command install (`npx claude-mem install`) or via the Claude Code plugin marketplace
- Adapters for OpenCode, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, OpenClaw and Grok Bot (log-file watching where hosts have no hooks)
- Search tools for querying past decisions, bugfixes and security alerts
- Local observer by default with an optional hosted memory tier
Claude Code and multi-agent users who lose context between sessions and want a drop-in memory layer without changing how they work.
Teams with strict data-handling rules who cannot review what a hook-based plugin captures, or users who want a git-native, human-editable memory format instead of AI-generated summaries.
The claude-mem plugin and SDK are open source under Apache-2.0 and the local observer/provider is free to run. The installer offers an optional hosted memory service (CMEM Pro / claude-mem observer) that is free for the first 30 days after an email sign-in; it can be skipped with an explicit --provider flag or CLAUDE_MEM_ONLINE_OPTIN=false.
One of the most widely adopted memory add-ons for Claude Code, with a low-friction install and growing multi-agent support; evaluate the optional hosted tier and hook permissions before rolling it out to a team.
