## Get Started in Three Simple Steps

Set up MemBridge and start sharing memories across all your AI tools.

### Step 1: Add Memory MCP Server to Your AI Tool

Add the MemBridge MCP URL to your AI assistant's settings:

```
https://api.membridge.ai/mcp
```

<Accordion icon="gear" title="How to add it">
  In your AI tool's MCP settings, register: `https://api.membridge.ai/mcp`

  </CardGroup>
</Accordion>

### Step 2: Sign In or Create Account

When you first connect, you'll be redirected to the MemBridge authentication page:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Automatic Redirect">
    On first connection, your AI tool will open the MemBridge sign-in page
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign In or Sign Up">
    * **Existing users**: Sign in with your credentials
    * **New users**: Click "Create Account" to sign up (free plan available forever)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Done">
    Your AI tool is now authenticated and connected to MemBridge!
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The free plan includes 50 memories and 10 daily accesses—perfect for getting started!
</Tip>

<Note>
  Connect all your AI tools with the same URL—they'll all access your memories after you authenticate!
</Note>

### Step 3: Start Using MemBridge

Once connected, you can start saving and retrieving memories:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="comment" title="Through your AI assistant">
    Tell your AI to use MemBridge to save information:

    ```
    "Use MemBridge to remember that I use Next.js 14 with TypeScript and Tailwind CSS for all my projects."
    ```

    Your AI will save this to MemBridge, making it available across all connected tools.

    <Tip>It's recommended to explicitly mention "MemBridge" or "use MemBridge" in your requests to ensure your AI uses the MemBridge tools.</Tip>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="browser" title="Through the web dashboard">
    1. Go to your [dashboard](https://membridge.ai/dashboard)
    2. Click "New Memory"
    3. Add a title and content
    4. Click "Save"

    <Tip>You can also edit, delete, or export your memories from the dashboard.</Tip>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Verify It's Working

Test that your memories are accessible across sessions and tools:

**Quick Test (Same Tool):**

1. In your current AI chat, save a memory: "Use MemBridge to remember that my favorite color is blue"
2. Open a **new chat session** in the same tool
3. Ask: "Use MemBridge to check: What's my favorite color?"
4. Your AI should retrieve the memory from MemBridge and respond correctly

<Check>
  If your AI knows your favorite color in the new session, MemBridge is working!
</Check>

**Advanced Test (Cross-Tool):**

Want to verify cross-tool memory sharing? Try this:

1. Save a memory in one tool (e.g., Claude)
2. Open a different AI tool (e.g., Cursor)
3. Ask the same question
4. The second tool should also know the answer from MemBridge

<Check>
  If both tools access the same memory, you've unlocked true cross-tool intelligence!
</Check>

## What to Save

Here are some ideas for what to remember:
