What does the Basic Memory MCP skill do?

It automates the installation of a memory server that allows Claude to remember context, variables, and information between different sessions in your project.

Do I need any external tools to use this skill?

Yes, you must have 'uv' installed on your system (from astral.sh) as the skill uses 'uvx' to run the basic-memory package.

How do I activate the memory after the skill runs?

Once the configuration is written to your project root, simply restart your Claude Code session to initialize the new MCP server.

Can I use this with other Claude skills?

Yes, it is designed to work alongside other tools and can be chained with skills like Context7 MCP for even deeper context management.

Does this overwrite my existing MCP configurations?

No, the skill is designed to check for an existing .mcp.json file and safely merge the basic-memory configuration into your current mcpServers list.

生产力与工作流

Configures and installs the Basic Memory MCP server to provide persistent context and knowledge across Claude Code sessions.

关于

This skill streamlines the setup of persistent memory for Claude Code by automating the configuration of the Basic Memory Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It handles the creation or merging of the .mcp.json configuration file, enabling Claude to maintain context, user preferences, and project-specific knowledge between different interactions. By utilizing the uvx runtime, it ensures a lightweight and reliable installation process that enhances Claude’s ability to recall past decisions and data within your development environment.
