local host-login observer or remote cmem.ai inference.

# Install claude-mem on Cursor
Independent of Grok Bot. Do not require the other IDE.
## Local worker (default)
```
npx claude-mem install --ide cursor
```
Starts the local worker. Hooks already ship with this plugin. MCP `claude-mem-local` talks to it.
Observer:
- Remote inference (typical): leave provider as openrouter / cmem.ai (`CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_BASE_URL=https://cmem.ai/api/inference/v1`)
- Local host-login: `--provider host` (loopback shim; never bind the worker port — on macOS the worker is often 37777, so the shim uses 37778)
## Remote worker
```
npx claude-mem install --ide cursor --runtime server --server-url https://YOUR_HOST
```
Set plugin variable `CLAUDE_MEM_MCP_TOKEN` for `claude-mem-remote` (`https://cmem.ai/api/mcp` or your server).
Never restart a healthy worker (RAM queue). No Claude CLI required for host/openrouter.
