What is the key difference between Zerm and Agent Recall?

Zerm belongs to the Knowledge & Memory category with cloud HTTP/SSE execution, while Agent Recall belongs to the Knowledge & Memory category with local stdio execution.

How do I install Zerm or Agent Recall 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 Zerm and Agent Recall free or paid?

Zerm operates under a Free / Open Source model (No auth required). Agent Recall operates under a Free / Open Source model (No auth required).

Which MCP server has more tools and community activity?

Zerm lists 0 tools with 0 views and 0 GitHub stars. Agent Recall lists 0 tools with 1 views and 365 GitHub stars.

Can I use both Zerm and Agent Recall 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 Zerm or Agent Recall 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.
