Cursor MemoryPlugin chat_history_overview

How to: Cursor MemoryPlugin chat_history_overview

client:Cursor transport:streamable-http tool:chat_history_overview

Add MemoryPlugin to Cursor

  1. 01

    Open ~/.cursor/mcp.json and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memory": {
      "url": "https://www.memoryplugin.com/api/mcp/mcp"
    }
  }
}
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Cursor.

  2. 03

    Ask for something chat_history_overview does. Cursor lists the server's tools on connect and calls chat_history_overview itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that MemoryPlugin's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Use .cursor/mcp.json in a project root instead to scope it to that project. Cursor merges both. Cursor docs

Same tool, other clients

This list was read from the server itself, by connecting to it and calling tools/list on 24 September 2026. It is what the server actually exposes, not what its listing claims.

Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
