Client Configs¶

Copy-pasteable setup snippets for common Engram clients.

Claude Code¶

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engram": {
      "command": "/absolute/path/to/engram/.venv/bin/python",
      "args": ["-m", "engram", "serve", "--mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Good first tools to teach the agent:

resume_context
recall
remember
remember_decision
remember_negative
session_handoff

Codex¶

Add Engram as an MCP server in your Codex config:

[mcp_servers.engram]
command = "/absolute/path/to/engram/.venv/bin/python"
args = ["-m", "engram", "serve", "--mcp"]

For continuity-focused work, pair it with:

examples/skills/session-continuity/SKILL.md

Generic MCP client¶

If your client supports stdio MCP servers:

/absolute/path/to/engram/.venv/bin/python -m engram serve --mcp

If your client supports HTTP/SSE instead:

engram serve --mcp-sse --port 8421

Web dashboard¶

Run the dashboard:

engram serve --web

Default address:

http://127.0.0.1:8420

Continuity-first tool set¶

If you want the smallest high-value default surface for a coding agent, start with:

resume_context
recall
recall_hints
remember
remember_decision
remember_negative
diary_write
session_handoff
