ContextForge Now Supports Cursor IDE: Persistent AI Memory Everywhere

If you've ever wished your AI coding assistant could remember things between sessions — project decisions, API patterns, debugging insights — ContextForge already solved that for Claude Desktop and Claude Code users. Today, we're excited to announce that ContextForge now officially supports Cursor IDE.

The Problem: AI Amnesia

Every time you start a new chat in your IDE, your AI assistant starts from zero. It doesn't remember:

- That architectural decision you explained yesterday

- The API endpoint documentation you walked through last week

- The bug pattern you already solved twice

You end up repeating yourself. Over and over.

The Solution: ContextForge MCP

ContextForge  https://context.dev is a persistent memory layer for AI coding assistants. It works through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external services.

With ContextForge, your AI assistant can:

- Remember knowledge across sessions — save and recall documentation, decisions, patterns

- Track tasks — create, assign, and resolve issues without leaving your editor

- Organize by projects — keep different codebases' context separate and clean

- Search semantically — ask questions in natural language and get relevant stored knowledge

- Collaborate — share project memory with your team

Setting It Up in Cursor (3 Minutes)

1. Install ContextForge MCP

npm install -g contextforge-mcp

npm install -g contextforge-mcp

2. Get Your API Key

Sign up at context.dev (free tier available) and grab your API key from the dashboard.

3. Configure Cursor

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextforge": {
      "command": "contextforge-mcp",
      "env": {
        "CONTEXTFORGE_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

On Windows, the file is at %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\mcp.json.

That's it. ContextForge tools are now available in Cursor's AI chat.

What You Can Do

Once configured, just talk to your AI assistant naturally:

Save Knowledge

Remember that our auth flow uses JWT tokens with a 15-minute expiry and refresh tokens stored in httpOnly cookies.

Recall Knowledge

What do we know about the authentication flow?

Track Tasks

Create a task: Refactor the payment module to support Stripe webhooks

Project Linking

Link this directory to the backend-api project

Your AI assistant now has context that persists across sessions, across days, across weeks.

Works Everywhere

ContextForge isn't just for Cursor. The same MCP server works with:

- Claude Code (CLI)

- Claude Desktop (macOS, Windows, Linux)

- Cursor IDE

- Any MCP-compatible client

Your memory is synced across all of them. Save something from Claude Code, recall it in Cursor. Create a task in Claude Desktop, resolve it from your terminal.

Free to Start

ContextForge has a free tier that includes:

- 1 project

- 50 knowledge items

- Semantic search

- Task tracking

Upgrade when you need more projects, more storage, or team collaboration.
