Integration: Other MCP Hosts

Since l0-memory is a standard Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, it can be used with any host that supports the protocol, such as Cursor, Cline, and more.

General Configuration

Most MCP hosts follow a similar configuration pattern. You generally need to provide the command to run the server and any necessary arguments.

Required Settings

• Command: The absolute path to the ltm binary.
• Arguments: ["mcp"]
• Environment Variables (Optional): You may want to set LTM_DB if your database is in a non-standard location.

JSON Configuration Example

For hosts that use a JSON configuration file (like Cursor or many IDE extensions), use this structure:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "l0-memory": {
      "command": "/usr/local/bin/ltm",
      "args": ["mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LTM_DB": "/Users/yourname/.long-term-memory/memories.db"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

To add l0-memory to Cursor:

1. Open Cursor Settings.
2. Navigate to Features > MCP.
3. Click + Add New MCP Server.
4. Set the name to l0-memory.
5. Set the type to command.
6. Enter the command: /path/to/ltm mcp (ensure the path is absolute).

Cline (formerly Claude Dev)

To add l0-memory to Cline:

1. Open the Cline settings in VS Code.
2. Find the MCP configuration section.
3. Add a new server entry following the JSON structure shown above.

Custom Integrations

If you are building your own MCP host, l0-memory supports the following standard MCP features:

• Tools: A wide range of memory_* tools for CRUD and graph operations.
• Resources: Pinned memories are exposed as resources at memory:///<scope>/<key>.
• Notifications: The server sends notifications/resources/list_changed when the set of pinned memories changes.
