agentmemory connect <agent> merges the memory server into a host agent's config and preserves any existing servers. REST is the underlying protocol; for MCP-only hosts the adapter wires the stdio MCP bridge.

Quick start

agentmemory connect claude-code   # or cursor, codex, gemini-cli, ...

After wiring, restart the host or run its MCP reload (for example /mcp in Claude Code) so it picks up the server. Then confirm the agent lists agentmemory's tools.

Workflow

1. Detect the calling agent. If unknown, default to claude-code.
2. Run agentmemory connect <name> using a name from the table in REFERENCE.md.
3. Verify: the host should show the full tool set with a server running. Only 7 tools means the MCP shim could not reach a server (see ../_shared/TROUBLESHOOTING.md).

Notes

• The action skills (remember, recall, and the rest) are installed separately with npx skills add rohitg00/agentmemory. connect makes tools available; skills teach the agent when to use them.
• Windows: use WSL2. Native Windows runs the server but connect is not supported there.
