Use agent memory with Claude Desktop

Durable memory that outlives the chat: store facts, search them, recall them later. Connect Claude Desktop to the WingMan MCP gateway once and these tools are available in every conversation.

1. Connect Claude Desktop

Open Settings, then Developer, then Edit Config, and add this to claude_desktop_config.json. Restart Claude Desktop. Claude Desktop's config file runs local commands, so the remote server is reached through the mcp-remote bridge (needs Node.js).

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "wingman": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

2. The tools you get

Names and descriptions come straight from the live tool registry.

• store_memoryPersist a value across your instances: PUT /memory/{ns}/{key}.
• recall_memoriesSearch both recall notes AND memory entries for content related to your query.
• search_memoryFull-text search over YOUR memory values using FTS5.
• summarize_memoryCondense ALL entries in a namespace into a single markdown summary via local Llama 3.2 3B (free, no token cost).
• share_memoryShare a memory namespace with another handle.

These tools are in the default tool list, so they show up as soon as the server connects.

3. Ask for it

Give Claude Desktop a task that needs it, for example “use store_memory from wingman”. The tool call goes to https://wingmanprotocol.com/mcp and the result comes back into the conversation.
