How do I install Memora or UltraMemory in Claude Desktop or Cursor?

Copy the mcpServers JSON configuration snippet provided on this page into your claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json file and restart your AI client.

Are Memora and UltraMemory free or paid?

Memora operates under a BYOK (Pay Provider Direct) model (API Key required). UltraMemory operates under a Free / Open Source model (No auth required).

Which MCP server has more tools and community activity?

Memora lists 6 tools with 2 views and 633 GitHub stars. UltraMemory lists 0 tools with 0 views and 0 GitHub stars.

Can I use both Memora and UltraMemory together in the same MCP host?

Yes! MCP hosts like Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code support configuring multiple servers under the mcpServers object simultaneously.

How do I install Memora or UltraMemory in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Windsurf?

Both servers follow the standard Model Context Protocol configuration format. Simply copy the JSON block from the configuration section above and paste it into your AI client's mcpServers configuration object (for instance in claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json ), then completely restart or refresh the application.

Are Memora and UltraMemory free to use, or do they require API keys?

Memora is listed under a BYOK (Pay Provider Direct) model with API Key required . UltraMemory operates under a Free / Open Source model with No auth required . If environment variables are required (such as API keys), be sure to define them under the env key in your MCP client's configuration file.

Can I run both Memora and UltraMemory at the same time in my AI client?

Yes! MCP clients support multi-server orchestration. You can include both agentic-mcp-tools-memora and ultramemory as distinct keys inside the single mcpServers object in your configuration file. Your AI assistant will automatically select and call the appropriate tool from either server during chat sessions.
