Command definition
mempalace-init.mddescription: Set up MemPalace — install the package, initialize a palace, register the MCP server with Cursor, and verify everything works.
Invoke the `mempalace` skill from this plugin and run the `init` instructions, then follow them.
Concretely: run `mempalace instructions init` in a terminal, then carry out the steps it prints.
Cursor-specific extras after init:
1. The `mempalace-mcp` server is already auto-registered by this plugin — no manual `mcp.json` edit needed. 2. For automatic background saves and session-start memory recall, also run `hooks/cursor/install.sh --scope user` from a cloned MemPalace repo. See `website/guide/cursor-hooks.md` for the walkthrough.
Local-first AI memory. Verbatim storage, pluggable backend, 96.6% R@5 raw on LongMemEval — zero API calls. ![][release-link] ![][python-link] ![][license-link] ![][discord-link] Beware of impostor sites. MemPalace has no other official websites.
