- One-command cross-platform setup (macOS, Linux, Windows).
- Remote MCP connector for claude.ai with GitHub OAuth and IP‑level tunnel.
Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name

- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Install Memex with a single command (curl/sh or PowerShell script), which runs memex setup to wire it into Claude Code, install the always-on capture service, and print a pairing token. Then install the Memex Chrome extension, paste the token, and click “Backfill claude.ai history.” For a manual path, clone the repo, run uv sync, then uv run memex ingest (or memex ingest from a pip install). Start the MCP server with uv run memex-mcp and add a .mcp.json config to Claude Code. Searches are also available from the CLI via memex search.

Your Claude.ai chats and your Claude Code sessions live in two worlds that never talk. Memex makes them one memory you can search from both.
Local-first MCP server that indexes your Claude.ai chat history and your local Claude Code / terminal sessions, and exposes them to Claude Code (stdio) and Claude.ai (remote MCP connector).
Status: alpha, 0.3.1 on PyPI. Phases 0 to 7 closed, security-audited (plus four adversarial red-team rounds). Shipped: hybrid search, live capture, auto-summaries, chat ↔ repo association, the Claude.ai remote connector (GitHub OAuth), Claude Code / terminal ingestion with secret redaction, one-command setup, cross-platform autostart, and one-click claude.ai history backfill.
End-to-end demo: from Claude Code, you ask about something you discussed on claude.ai. Memex searches your chat history (search_chats) and Claude answers from the real conversation. No copy-paste, no manual context handoff.
Install
One command installs uv + Memex and runs memex setup (registers the MCP server, installs the always-on capture service, indexes your local sessions, prints the pairing token):
