Cline + PersistMemory

Memory for Cline that outlives the conversation

Give Cline a memory that outlives the task. Connect PersistMemory over MCP and the decisions from last week's work are available in this week's.

What Cline forgets

Cline works task by task. Each one starts from the repository and from what you type into it, so the constraint you explained on Monday is explained again on Thursday, and an approach the team abandoned is proposed as though it were new.

  • Rejected approaches stay rejected, with the reason attached.

  • A constraint is written once and available to every later task.

  • The same memory answers in Cline, Claude and Cursor.

Connecting it

Add this to cline_mcp_settings.json, via the MCP Servers panel and restart Cline.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "persistmemory": {
      "url": "https://mcp.persistmemory.com/mcp",
      "transport": "http"
    }
  }
}

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