Echo Mem MCP 101: Echo is very easy to use
Save your conversation sessions in one place, then start the next session with warm context.
Echo is very easy to use. You need an Echo account, and then you connect Echo Mem MCP to your device.
The core idea is simple: Echo saves your conversation sessions in one memory box, then brings the relevant history, goals, decisions, journey, and context back when a new session begins.
You do not start from zero. You start with warm context.
Echo Mem MCP is an MCP entrypoint that lives on your device. You can call it directly in terminal, inside an agent, inside an IDE, in Claude Desktop, in Hermes, or in any harness that speaks MCP.
Where can you use Echo?
Today, you can connect Echo to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and the CLI. You can also use the Echo Chrome extension to save ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini chats into memories.
That means your work is no longer trapped inside one app. What you discussed in ChatGPT can help Claude Code and Codex. The project history you built in Codex can help Cursor. If you need to search from terminal, you can do that too.
Step one: run Agent Doctor, then install Echo Mem MCP.
I recommend running Agent Doctor first. It shows your overall workspace: how many historical sessions you have, how much context has been repeatedly burned, and which parts are ready to become Echo memory.
Installation is extremely simple. Run this script in terminal:
npm i -g @echomem/mcp@latest && echomem-mcp init
Then sign in with your Echo account. You will see the dashboard. It shows your overall workspace, and that is how you know Echo Mem MCP is ready on your device.
Before memory generation begins, accept the Terms of Use. Then keep the browser open while Echo turns your historical conversations into memories you can call.
- Run Agent Doctor first, so you can see your workspace and historical sessions.
- Sign in to your Echo account and connect Echo Mem MCP to this device.
- Keep the browser open and start memory generation.
- After about 10 minutes, open your timeline on echoknows.com or call Echo from any agent.
Install, sign in, start memory generation. That simple.
Saving memories is free. Privacy is the baseline.
Echo is a free memory box. Saving memories is free. You are charged only when you actually use those memories: when you rely on Echo every day to warm up, search, renew sessions, and keep work moving.
Your private memory data is stored encrypted. We do not sell your Private Memory Data, and we do not share your user ID or PII for commercial profiling. Echo uses Supabase for storage and Gemini API for memory generation, but those services are used to provide Echo functionality, not to sell your identity.
We care about your privacy. We care about your data security. At Echo, our mission is to help all good people get connected and stay protected.
If you do not want your memories to be open, you can turn on stronger encryption. Be careful: if you enable encryption, you must remember your password. We cannot recover it for you.
Your memory belongs to you. Echo protects it, then brings it back when you need it.
Step two: leave your browser open while memories generate.
After setup, keep the browser open. You can go do something else. After about 10 minutes, depending on how much conversation history you have, your memories will be ready.
Then you can go to your homepage / timeline on echoknows.com to see your memories, or you can call Echo Mem MCP from any terminal or chat interface.
Your past conversations have become memories an agent can use. Now they can continue the work, or help creativity happen.
Step three: open any session, then ask Echo.
In any new agent session, you can first ask: is Echo Mem MCP installed? If it is available, you can start using it immediately.
GoalUse Echo to find my goal for this project.
HistorySearch Echo for the history and summaries of this project.
DecisionFind our previous decisions and failed attempts.
JourneyUse my Echo memory to warm up this session.
A new session is better when it starts with context. Ask Echo about your goal, your history, your decisions, and your journey. Echo will pull from your past history, and the agent can begin from the real current state.
Never miss anything. All in one.
Browser chats can go into the same memory box.
If you chat in ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, you can use the Echo Chrome extension to save important chats into memories.
That is the all-in-one shape: browser chat, coding agent, CLI, IDE, MCP harness. They all come back to one Echo memory box, so you stop digging and stop re-explaining yourself.
If you still do not know how to use it, watch the walkthrough.
Go to the Echo YouTube channel for more walkthroughs. You will see how to install Echo, generate memories, warm up a new session, and turn old conversations into context you can use again.
