  • Platforms: claude.ai (web) and Claude Desktop app
  • Prerequisites: A MemBridge account (free plan available)

​
Step-by-Step Setup

​
Step 1: Access Connector Settings

1

Open Claude Settings

Click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of Claude (claude.ai or Claude Desktop app).
2

Navigate to Connectors

In the settings menu, select “Connectors” from the sidebar. You’ll see a list of currently configured connectors and an option to add new ones.

​
Step 2: Add MemBridge Custom Connector

Click the button to initiate the connection process.

​
Step 3: Authenticate with MemBridge

After adding the connector, Claude will initiate the authentication process:

Redirect to MemBridge Sign-In

You’ll be redirected to the MemBridge authentication page in your browser.
2

Sign In or Create Account

  • 50 memories
  • 10 accesses per day
  • All core features
3

Authorize Connection

Review the permissions requested by Claude and click “Authorize” or “Allow” to grant access.
MemBridge will request permission to read and write your memories. This is necessary for Claude to save and retrieve information on your behalf.
4

Return to Claude

After successful authentication, you’ll be redirected back to Claude. The connection is now established.

​
Step 4: Verify Connection

Confirm that MemBridge is connected and working:
1

Check Connector Status

Go back to Settings → Connectors and verify that MemBridge appears in your list of connected servers with an active status.
2

Test the Connection

In a new or existing conversation, try saving a test memory:
Use MemBridge to remember that my favorite color is blue.
Claude should use MemBridge to save this information. You can verify by asking:
Use MemBridge to check: What's my favorite color?
If Claude correctly recalls “blue,” MemBridge is working!

​
Step 5: Configure Tool Permissions (Optional)

You can control which MemBridge tools Claude can use:

Open Connector Settings

Go to Settings → Connectors and click on the MemBridge connector.

Enable/Disable Tools

Toggle individual tools on or off based on your preferences. By default, all tools are enabled.
It’s recommended to keep all tools enabled for the best experience. Disabling tools may limit Claude’s ability to manage your memories effectively.
