<Warning>
This integration requires the **Supermemory Pro plan**. [Upgrade here](https://console.supermemory.ai/billing).
</Warning>

[Claude-Supermemory](https://github.com/supermemoryai/claude-supermemory) is a Claude Code plugin that gives your AI persistent memory across sessions. Your agent remembers what you worked on — across sessions, across projects.

## Get Your API Key

Create a Supermemory API key from the [API Keys](https://console.supermemory.ai/keys) page, then add it to your shell profile so it persists across sessions:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="macOS / Linux (zsh)">
    ```bash
    echo 'export SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY="sm_..."' >> ~/.zshrc
    source ~/.zshrc
    ```
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="macOS / Linux (bash)">
    ```bash
    echo 'export SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY="sm_..."' >> ~/.bashrc
    source ~/.bashrc
    ```
  </Tab>
  <Tab title="Windows (PowerShell)">
    ```powershell
    [System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY", "sm_...", "User")
    ```
    Restart your terminal after running this.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Install the Plugin

```bash
# Add the plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add supermemoryai/claude-supermemory

# Install the plugin
/plugin install claude-supermemory
```

## How It Works

Once installed, the plugin runs automatically:

- **Context Injection** — On session start, relevant memories are fetched and injected into Claude's context. This includes user preferences, project knowledge, and past interactions.
- **Auto-Capture** — Tool usage is captured and stored during the session for future context.

### What Gets Captured

| Tool  | Captured As                                         |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Edit  | `Edited src/auth.ts: "old code..." → "new code..."` |
| Write | `Created src/new-file.ts (500 chars)`               |
| Bash  | `Ran: npm test (SUCCESS/FAILED)`                    |
| Task  | `Spawned agent: explore codebase`                   |

## Commands

### /claude-supermemory:logout

Log out from Supermemory and clear saved credentials.

```
/claude-supermemory:logout
