Set up Membral

Three ways to get your conversations and context into Membral. Pick the ones you need — none of them require anyone's help but your own.

1. Chrome extension

Syncs your ChatGPT and Claude.ai conversations into Membral automatically.

Not on the Chrome Web Store yet — a listing is coming. Until then, load it unpacked; it takes under a minute.

Download membral-extension.zip
  1. 1

    Download the zip above and unzip it somewhere you'll keep it (it needs to stay put — Chrome loads it from that folder).

  2. 2

    Open Chrome's extensions page and turn on Developer mode (top right)

    chrome://extensions
  3. 3

    Click Load unpacked and select the unzipped folder.

  4. 4

    Click the Membral icon, sign in with the same email/password you use here. The cloud URL is already preset to this site — nothing to configure.

2. Command-line tool

Imports Claude Code sessions and connects a local MCP server. Honest state: @membral/cli is not published on npm yet (issue #118) — npx @membral/cli setup will 404. Here's the install that actually works today:

$ git clone https://github.com/surajtripathy07/membral

$ cd membral

$ npm install

$ npx turbo build --filter=@membral/cli

$ cd packages/cli && npm link

Then, from any machine with the CLI linked:

$ membral setup --api-url https://membral.me

3. MCP (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor)

Lets an AI assistant read your Membral memories directly, instead of you copy-pasting context by hand. Fully self-service, no build step:

  1. Sign in and open Settings.
  2. Under API Key, click Generate API Key.
  3. Copy the MCP config snippet for your client and paste it into that app's config file.
