# Steve Memo

Long-term memory for this workspace. Connect over MCP, then recall before you ask and save without being asked.

## Connect

HTTP (preferred):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "steve-memo": {
      "url": "https://mcp.steve-memo.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer <Clerk organization API key>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Do not put the key in a committed file. Use `STEVE_MEMO_ORG_API_KEY` in the host env.

## When to recall

At the start of a task, call `memory_recall` with the user request as `query`. Use the returned prompt block. Do not ask the user to re-explain known preferences or decisions.

## When to save

Save a durable fact when you learn it, without waiting to be asked:

- preference, decision, convention, identity, constraint
- not secrets, one-off task noise, or raw transcripts

Use `memory_add` with `text` for one distilled fact. Use `memory_add` with `messages` (recent user/assistant turns) when several facts appeared. `memory_extract` is only for extract-only options.
