Korely

Coding agents

Claude Code

Give Claude Code memory that survives the session. One command connects the Korely MCP server, no OAuth dance, no package to install, just your API key.

Claude Code forgets everything between sessions. Connect Korely's MCP server and it doesn't: before answering, Claude Code can pull the active typed facts and relevant memories it has stored, and write new ones as it learns. The intelligence, entity and typed-fact extraction, contradiction resolution, bi-temporal validity, runs server-side. Claude Code just calls the tools.

Prerequisites

  • A Korely API key (kor_live_...). The hobby tier is free.
  • Claude Code installed (claude --version).

Add the Korely MCP server

Korely's agent memory is a remote MCP server at https://api.korely.ai/agent/mcp, authenticated with your key in a header, no browser login. Add it with one command:

Terminal window
claude mcp add --transport http korely https://api.korely.ai/agent/mcp \
--header "Authorization: Bearer kor_live_..."

Or add it to your project's .mcp.json directly:

{
"mcpServers": {
"korely": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.korely.ai/agent/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer ${KORELY_API_KEY}"
}
}
}
}

Run /mcp inside Claude Code to confirm korely is connected.

What Claude Code can do

Once connected, Claude Code has four memory tools:

ToolWhat it does
korely_get_contextThe recall path: assembles the active typed facts plus the most relevant memories into a prompt-ready block. Pure retrieval, no model runs on the read path.
korely_addStore a memory. Typed (subject, predicate, object) facts are extracted server-side and contradictions are superseded automatically.
korely_searchSemantic search over stored memories, ranked.
korely_get_factsThe typed bi-temporal facts known about a user, with point-in-time (as_of) queries.

Use it

Now Claude Code reaches for memory on its own. Tell it something durable and it calls korely_add; ask it something personal and it calls korely_get_context first:

You › Remember that this repo deploys to Hetzner, not Render.
→ korely_add("This repo deploys to Hetzner, not Render")
# next session, days later
You › How do we deploy this?
→ korely_get_context("deploy") → "This repo deploys to Hetzner..."
Claude › This repo deploys to Hetzner (you told me earlier), not Render. ...

Scoping

Every tool accepts an optional user_id so one key can serve many end users, a memory written for "user-a" never surfaces for "user-b". Omit it and everything is scoped to the key's default.

Why this is more than a notepad. Korely doesn't store raw chat logs, it extracts typed facts with bi-temporal validity. When something changes ("we moved off Render"), the old fact is superseded, not duplicated, so korely_get_context returns what's true now, and as_of can still replay what was true before. EU-hosted.
