01
Connect Cursor to Wenlan's MCP connector, which talks to the local daemon.
02
Capture decisions while editing instead of after the context is gone.
03
Use the same memory from Claude Code or Codex later.
01
Quick answer
Use Wenlan in Cursor as a local project-memory companion outside the editor: ask Cursor Agent to use Wenlan context, capture durable changes, recall previous decisions, and keep handoff facts available for other tools.
Wenlan fills that gap with a local memory layer outside the editor. Cursor can use the same decisions, pages, and handoffs as other MCP clients.
02
When this problem appears
Cursor has native Memories and Rules for Cursor-scoped context. Wenlan's role is different: keep inspectable local work memory available to Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP clients through one daemon.
03
Use Cursor with a memory habit
Add memory at the points where future confusion is likely.
- Ask Cursor Agent to use Wenlan context before a meaningful feature or bugfix, approving the MCP tool call if prompted.
- Capture why a design path was chosen.
- Capture build, CI, or setup gotchas after verifying them.
- Recall by feature name, error string, or project decision.
- Use spaces if Cursor projects should not share context.
04
What to check next
Do not make Wenlan a second task tracker. Store durable context for future agents, not every temporary edit in the current branch.
Try the local memory loop
Install Wenlan, connect your AI client, and verify that capture, recall, and handoff work on your machine.
