Claude Code Quickstart

Claude Code is Anthropic's CLI agent. Engram integrates seamlessly.

Setup

Option 1: Auto-install (Recommended)

curl -fsSL https://engram-us.com/install | sh

Option 2: Manual Setup

1. Create or edit ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engram": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.engram.app/mcp"
    }
  }
}

For local development:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "engram": {
      "type": "http", 
      "url": "http://localhost:7474/mcp"
    }
  }
}

2. Restart Claude Code

First Time Setup

After starting a new Claude Code session:

1. Claude Code will automatically detect Engram
2. Tell it: "Set up Engram for my team" to create a workspace
3. Or: "Join Engram with key ek_live_..." to join an existing workspace

Usage

Once configured, Claude Code will:

• Query team memory before starting work on any task
• Commit important discoveries to shared memory
• Detect and help resolve conflicts

Verification

engram verify

In your IDE: Ask your agent: "Call engram_status and tell me what it returns."

Expected output:

{"status": "ready", "mode": "team", "engram_id": "ENG-XXXXXX", "schema": "engram"}

Troubleshooting

• Check config: cat ~/.claude.json
• Restart Claude Code after config changes
• Ensure Engram is running if using local server
