Installation

TekMemo is published as three packages: the core runtime, the CLI, and a self-hostable MCP server. (A hosted cloud-only MCP endpoint is also available with no install — see MCP.)

Core Runtime

To integrate TekMemo's memory runtime into your application, install the core package:

npm install @tekbreed/tekmemo

CLI

To manage your memory folders and run local/cloud/hybrid commands, install the CLI:

npm install -D @tekbreed/tekmemo-cli

MCP

There are two ways to expose TekMemo to MCP-compatible agents (like Claude Code or Cursor):

• Hosted server (cloud-only) — no package to install. Point your client at https://mcp.memo.tekbreed.com/ with a bearer token. See Hosted MCP.
• Self-hosted stdio server — install the package for file-first local, cloud, or hybrid memory:

npm install -D @tekbreed/tekmemo-mcp-server

See the MCP guide for choosing between the two and Client setup for per-client config.

Optional Peer Dependencies

Depending on which features you use, you may need to install one or more peer dependencies:
