Claude Desktop

Install Memoria for Claude Desktop on macOS or Windows.

Step 1: Find Your Config File

macOS

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Open Terminal and run:

open ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/

Windows

%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Press Win + R, type %APPDATA%\Claude, and press Enter.

Step 2: Add Memoria to Config

Open (or create) claude_desktop_config.json and add:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memoria": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@byronwade/memoria"]
    }
  }
}

If you already have other MCP servers configured, add memoria to the existingmcpServers object:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "other-server": { ... },
    "memoria": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@byronwade/memoria"]
    }
  }
}

Step 3: Restart Claude Desktop

Completely quit Claude Desktop (not just close the window) and reopen it.

Step 4: Verify Installation

Ask Claude:

"What MCP tools do you have available?"

You should see analyze_file and ask_history from Memoria listed.

Usage

Now you can ask Claude to analyze files before making changes:

"Analyze /Users/me/project/src/api/route.ts before I refactor it"
