Connecting Archilas via MCP

Drop-in persistent memory for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and MCP-compatible clients.

Archilas exposes persistent agent memory through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your client connects to https://mcp.archilas.com with a Bearer API key — no pipeline changes required.

Claude Desktop configuration

Add Archilas to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "archilas": {
      "url": "https://mcp.archilas.com",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer arch_..."
      }
    }
  }
}

REST API alternative

For custom agents, use the REST API at https://api.archilas.com/v1/memories. SDKs are available for Python and TypeScript.

What you get

  • Store structured memory from conversations
  • Retrieve context at session start or on demand
  • Memory that persists across agents and deployments
  • No raw transcript storage — only distilled entries

Need an API key? Sign up free — includes up to 4 memory systems on the Free plan.
