Claude
Membase in Claude on the web and the desktop app, as a custom connector with OAuth consent in the browser.
Claude (claude.ai and the desktop app) takes Membase as a custom connector and reads the Memories you switch on for it. For Claude Code, the command-line agent, see Claude Code.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- A Claude plan that allows custom connectors (organisation admins can restrict them).
- A Membase account with at least one Memory that has run once.
Set up
Section titled “Set up”- Customize → Connectors → + → Add custom connector.
- Paste
https://api.app.membase.io/mcp-httpand confirm. - Finish the authorization in the browser. On Membase’s consent screen tick the Memories Claude may use and, if it may read the profile, Profile access; press Approve access. The last page you should see is Claude’s own; if you end up on Membase instead, Claude did not receive the code: retry the connection from Claude.
- In a chat, open + → Connectors and switch Membase on, then ask “List my Membase containers.”
What it can do
Section titled “What it can do”list_containers, search_memories and, when ticked, get_profile. Nothing that writes:
the saving, deleting and forgetting tools are not in its tool list, and a call to one is
refused with 403 unauthorized. Claude’s connector settings have no field for a header, so
the consent path is the only one here; a developer key belongs to
Claude Code. Profile access is decided on the consent screen only; to
change it, Disconnect… on Claude’s page in Connect and add the connector again.
Which Memories it uses
Section titled “Which Memories it uses”An empty container list means no Memory is switched on for this connection. Switch one on under Uses on Claude’s page in Connect, or under Use in on the Memory. Off takes effect on Claude’s next question.
Remove it
Section titled “Remove it”Remove the connector on the same Connectors page, and Disconnect… on Claude’s page in Membase’s Connect too: the client does not tell the server.
If something looks wrong
Section titled “If something looks wrong”| It says | What it means | Do |
|---|---|---|
| the connector never finishes authorizing | the URL has a typo or misses the path, or the consent tab was closed | paste the URL exactly; add the connector again |
| List my containers answers an empty list | connected, no Memory switched on | Uses on Claude’s page in Connect |
| the last step lands on the Membase app | Claude did not receive the authorization code | retry the connection from Claude |
| the model says a Memory “could not answer yet” | the memory was asleep; the first search wakes it | ask again in a moment |
| the model answers from nothing about you | Profile access was not ticked at consent | Disconnect… on Claude’s page in Connect, add the connector again and tick it |
