Claude + PersistMemory
Memory for Claude that outlives the conversation
Connect PersistMemory to Claude Desktop or Claude Code over MCP and give it memory that survives the conversation: decisions, preferences and documents, searchable by meaning.
What Claude forgets
Claude starts every conversation empty. Everything you explained last week — the architecture, the constraint you keep hitting, the decision you already made and do not want relitigated — is gone, and you type it again.
Claude answers from what you told it in March without you restating it.
It says when the memory holds nothing, rather than inventing something plausible.
A memory marked as no longer current is described as past, never presented as true now.
Connecting it
Add this to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json and restart Claude.

}You sign in with your own account, and the connection is revocable from your dashboard. One live connection per platform: authorising Claude again replaces the previous one rather than adding a second.
