Connect Perfect Memory to Claude

This guide connects Perfect Memory to Claude over MCP so you can ask Claude about your screen history and meetings. The same connector URL works for both Claude Desktop and Claude Code — you just paste it in one and run a command in the other. New to MCP? Start with how it works.

1. Generate your connector URL

Sign in at perfectmemory.ai/account and find the Connect AI assistants (MCP) card. Click Generate token — you'll get a connector URL that looks like this:

https://www.perfectmemory.ai/api/mcp/u/<your-token>

Copy it now — the token is shown only once. Treat this URL like a password; anyone who has it can query your data until you rotate or revoke it from the same page.

2. Add it to Claude

Claude Desktop

Open Settings → Connectors.
Click Add custom connector.
Paste your connector URL and save.

Claude Code

Run this in a terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http perfect-memory https://www.perfectmemory.ai/api/mcp/u/<your-token>

3. Turn on the MCP server in the app

On the PC running Perfect Memory, open Settings → Advanced and turn on “Enable MCP server”. Back on your account page, the status pill turns green (App connected) once the app is online. Searches only work while the app is running.

4. Ask Claude

Try something like “Search my screen history for the invoice from Acme” or “Summarize my last meeting about the launch.” Claude will call Perfect Memory and answer from your own data.

Troubleshooting

“App not connected” — make sure Perfect Memory is running and Enable MCP server is on. The pill on your account page should be green.
Unauthorized / 401 — the token was rotated or revoked. Generate a new one and update the connector URL.
Lost your URL? — rotate the token on your account page to get a fresh one, then re-add it.
