About SuperMemory
SuperMemory is an MCP-first learning layer for Claude, Cursor, and custom agent workflows. It stores validated, distilled lessons from failures and corrections rather than full conversation transcripts, then makes them retrievable for later work.
Key features
- 01Closed-loop lesson capture and retrieval
- 02Validation before lesson storage
- 0329 MCP tools and 4 resources
- 04Local files, SQLite, or PostgreSQL storage
- 05Python SDK and REST API
Use cases
- 01Retrieve prior lessons for an agent workflow
- 02Record and validate a failure correction
- 03Track whether a lesson improved an outcome
MCP support
It provides an MCP server with 29 tools and 4 resources over stdio or streamable HTTP. MCP clients can retrieve and manage lessons, policies, and skills.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
uvx supermemory-agentSUPERMEMORY_STORAGE_PATHLocal directory for .supermemory file storageUALL_DATA_DIRLegacy alias for SUPERMEMORY_STORAGE_PATHLocal servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details
From the project READMESuperMemory
MCP-first agent learning layer for Claude, Cursor, and custom agent workflows.
SuperMemory captures distilled lessons from failures and corrections — not full conversation transcripts — validates them before storage, and improves agents over time through a closed-loop cycle.
Quick start
pip install supermemory-agent
supermemory-agent --storage .supermemory --transport stdio
Or with uv:
uvx supermemory-agent --storage .supermemory --transport stdio
Latest release: v0.2.4 — wheel + sdist attached on every GitHub Release.
What you get
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| MCP server | 29 tools + 4 resources over stdio (or streamable HTTP) |
| Agent skill | skills/supermemory-agent-learning/SKILL.md — bundled in the PyPI package |
| Python SDK | In-process integration via uall_python |
| REST API | FastAPI server for remote / polyglot clients |
| Storage | Local .supermemory/ files by default; SQLite and PostgreSQL optional |
Everything lives in one repo: MCP server, skills, SDK, REST API, tests, and release packages.
Install
PyPI (recommended)
pip install supermemory-agent
After install, bundled skills are at site-packages/skills/supermemory-agent-learning/. Copy to your editor skills folder if needed.
GitHub Release (offline / pinned version)
Each release ships installable assets:
pip install https://github.com/YashvantHange/SuperMemory/releases/download/v0.2.4/supermemory_agent-0.2.4-py3-none-any.whl
Browse all versions: github.com/YashvantHange/SuperMemory/releases
From source (developers)
git clone https://github.com/YashvantHange/SuperMemory.git
cd SuperMemory
pip install -e ".[dev]"
python -m pytest tests/ -v
Configure MCP
Cursor
Copy examples/cursor.mcp.json to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"supermemory": {
"command": "supermemory-agent",
"args": ["--storage", ".supermemory", "--transport", "stdio"]
}
}
}
Claude Desktop
Merge examples/claude_desktop_config.json into:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
Run manually
Do not run supermemory-agent alone in a terminal — stdio mode expects JSON-RPC from an MCP client. Pressing Enter in the shell causes a JSON parse error.
# For local HTTP testing only:
supermemory-agent --transport streamable-http
When configured in Cursor or Claude Desktop, the client launches the server automatically over stdio.
Agent skills (Cursor + Claude Code)
| Source | Path |
|---|---|
| Canonical (edit here) | skills/supermemory-agent-learning/ |
| Cursor project | .cursor/skills/supermemory-agent-learning/ |
| Claude Code project | .claude/skills/supermemory-agent-learning/ |
| PyPI install | site-packages/skills/supermemory-agent-learning/ |
After editing skills/, sync copies:
python scripts/sync_skills.py
Mention SuperMemory, agent learning, or MCP memory in chat to load the skill.
Learning loop
retrieve → record_failure → reflect(event_ids) → validate → process_promotions
→ retrieve again → report_outcome
Core rule: capture workflow outcomes and distilled lessons only — never full transcripts. Default retrieval budget: max_tokens=800.
MCP tools (29)
Core (13): retrieve, record_event, record_failure, record_correction, reflect, validate, process_promotions, report_outcome, get_policies, add_policy, add_skill, search_skills, get_skill
Extended UALL (16): learn.run.start, learn.run.event, learn.run.end, learn.store, learn.retrieve, learn.reflect, learn.validate, learn.evaluate, learn.feedback, learn.improvements, learn.analytics, learn.policies, learn.experiment, learn.rollback, learn.skills, learn.telemetry
All tools include MCP safety annotations (readOnlyHint / destructiveHint).
MCP resources (4)
supermemory://policies/activesupermemory://lessons/{lesson_id}supermemory://memory/{lesson_id}/provenancesupermemory://skills/{skill_id}
Python SDK
from uall_python import UALLClient
client = UALLClient(storage="file")
with client.run(workflow_id="pdf-pipeline", step="planner", namespace="team:eng") as run:
lessons = run.retrieve(step="planner", max_tokens=800)
run.record_failure(snippet="chose OCR for searchable PDF", tags=["routing"])
run.report_lesson_outcome(lesson_id="lesson_001", used=True, accepted=True, improved=True)
REST API
python -m uall_server
Server: http://localhost:8000 — see api/openapi.yaml.
Storage
| Tier | Backend | Config |
|---|---|---|
| Default | .supermemory/ JSON files | SUPERMEMORY_STORAGE_PATH or UALL_DATA_DIR |
| Optional | SQLite | UALL_STORAGE_BACKEND=sqlite |
| Enterprise | PostgreSQL | UALL_STORAGE_BACKEND=postgres |

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
