Once your context is in Membase, there are three ways to use it: Chat with Memory for direct conversations with your knowledge base, automatic retrieval by your connected agents, and visual exploration in the dashboard.

​
Chat with Memory

The most direct way to interact with your knowledge base. Chat with Memory lets you ask questions and get answers grounded in your stored context, without going through an external agent.
Chat with Memory
  • Ask anything: “What did we decide about the auth flow?”, “What’s my meeting schedule this week?”, “What tech stack is the current project using?”
  • Citations: Every response links back to the exact memories it drew from
  • Graph panel: See how referenced memories connect to each other
  • Session history: Pick up past conversations from the sidebar
Chat with Memory is available in the Chat tab of your dashboard.

​
Agent Retrieval

Your connected agents automatically retrieve context from Membase when they need it. When you ask a question or give an instruction, the agent calls search_memory to pull relevant memories before responding.
Your prompt
Set up a new API route for user profiles.
What happens behind the scenes
→ Agent calls search_memory: "project tech stack, API conventions"
→ Found: "Uses Next.js with TypeScript"
→ Found: "RESTful conventions with Zod validation"
→ Found: "Supabase for auth"
→ Agent generates the route with the right stack
This works across all connected agents. Context stored by Cursor is available to Claude, ChatGPT, and every other agent on your account.
You don’t need to tell your agent to search. The search_memory call happens automatically when the agent determines that past context would improve its response.

​
Dashboard Exploration

The Memories tab in your dashboard provides two views for browsing your knowledge:
Explore your knowledge as an interactive network of entities and relationships. Click any node to see connected entities and related memories.
For more details on the dashboard, see the Dashboard guide.
