Use lore in Claude

For Claude on the web, desktop and mobile, and Cowork

lore gives Claude a long-term memory that is yours: notes, decisions and preferences saved in one conversation are there in the next one, and in your coding agents too. This page explains how to connect it, what Claude can do with it, and what data it handles.

Before you start

• A lore account. Create one; it is free.
• A Claude plan that allows custom connectors.

Connect lore

1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
2. Choose Add custom connector and enter https://app.lorememory.ai/mcp.
3. Choose Connect. A lore page opens: sign in and approve the connection.
4. Back in Claude, start a chat and enable lore from the tools menu if it is not already on.

The connection belongs to your Claude account, so it is available in every Claude app you are signed in to.

What Claude can do

• Search memory (memory_query): find pages by words, across everything you can read.
• Read a page (memory_read_page): open the full text of one page.
• Recent memory (memory_recent): list what changed lately.
• Write a page (memory_write_page): save or update a page.
• Delete a page (memory_delete_page): remove a page you ask to be removed.
• Tags (memory_tags) and files (memory_files): browse pages by tag, or by the code files they mention.
• Status (memory_status): show which memory answered and how much it holds.

The first three and the last three only read. Writing and deleting change your memory, and Claude asks before using them unless you have allowed it.

Try it

• "Remember that I prefer metric units and short answers."
• "What did we decide about the pricing page?"
• "Save a note in lore: the launch moved to 3 March because the audit is not finished."
• "What changed in my lore memory this week?"

Where notes are saved

A note with no project named goes to your personal memory, which every repository in your own workspace reads. If you name a repository, Claude saves there, provided you are allowed to write to it. Claude can read every repository you can read and nothing else: access is decided by lore for each request, not by Claude.

Your data

• lore receives the search words Claude sends and the pages Claude writes, and returns pages you are allowed to read.
• Pages are stored in your lore account until you delete them. The privacy policy says where they are kept and who else handles them.
• lore does not receive the rest of your conversation with Claude.

Disconnect

Remove the connector in Claude's Settings, Connectors. To make sure the connection can no longer be used, open your lore account, go to your keys, and revoke the one named "Claude (MCP sign-in)".

Troubleshooting

• The sign-in page says the request expired. Approval must happen within ten minutes. Start the connection again from Claude.
• Claude says it is not authorized for a repository. You do not have access to that repository's memory. Ask one of its admins to add you.
• Claude does not use lore by itself. Ask it to ("check lore for…"). The lore plugin adds a skill that makes this automatic.
