MCP Server for CortexDB — expose memory operations to AI agents
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"cortexdb-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

# CortexDB MCP Server MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI tools persistent long-term memory via CortexDB. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client. > **0.3.0 rewrites the server against the v1 CortexDB API.** Default surface is now `https://api-v1.cortexdb.ai`. The server **auto-signs-up anonymously** on first launch — no API key required. ## Quick Start ```bash # Install (the PyPI name is `cortexdb-mcp`) pip install cortexdb-mcp # Then run with zero config: cortexdb-mcp ``` For a coding agent that only needs repository intelligence, select the compact read-only surface (four tools: explore, impact, inventory, graph): ```bash cortexdb-mcp --tool-profile code ``` This materially reduces tool-schema context while retaining natural-language retrieval, typed traversal, prefix symbol discovery, and directory inventory. That's it. On first launch the server hits `POST /v1/auth/signup`, mints a free-tier PASETO token + scope for itself, and caches them under `~/.config/cortexdb-mcp/state.json` (Linux/macOS) or `%APPDATA%\cortexdb-mcp\state.json` (Windows). Re-launches reuse the cached identity until the token expires (7 days). To target a custom deployment or pre-existing identity, set any of: ```bash export CORTEXDB_URL="https://api-v1.cortexdb.ai" # base URL export CORTEXDB_API_KEY="v4.public..." # PASETO bearer token export CORTEXDB_ACTOR="user:alice" # ActorId, sent as X-Cortex-Actor export CORTEXDB_SCOPE="org:acme/user:alice" # default scope path ``` ## IDE Setup Most clients just need a single line — the auto-signup handles the rest. ### Claude Desktop Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` (macOS) or `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` (Windows): ```json { "mcpServers": { "cortexdb": { "command": "cortexdb-mcp" } } } ``` > **Windows note (audit POL-3):** if Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsu…
