Memory has been on my mind a lot recently since I prefer Claude for many use cases but the memory on ChatGPT was too useful. For example, I use AI quite a bit for business / content coaching , and I actually wrote a small app to use the Claude API while managing my memories in Notion...but you can imagine managing my own app wasn't the best use of my time. I started to think that using Cursor was the best option , even for text files and coaching , but Cursor is so code-oriented this also feels goofy. So I'm still figuring this story out but the "memory via an MCP" service is a very interesting concept, almost one of those "of course that's necessary, why didn't I realize it before", so I'll have to check it out.
Would love to hear your review if you end up trying out one of the memory MCPs! I do like that using Notion would mean your 'memories' live where you already have your notes, so there are pros of that option, too.
This also ties into the question of to what degree Memory should be universal; e.g. it's nice that using a Memory MCP server allows you to share memories between Cursor and Claude, but does a shared memory even make sense if you're using Cursor for coding vs. Claude for business use cases? Or maybe you can eventually select which memories are accessed & used by each tool? Still lots that isn't necessarily 'solved' in this space.
Loved this post (again). Quote of the Day (even if it wasn't 7am): "...compounding personalization becomes a business advantage."
