Your tenant is live.
Your EngramPort account is provisioned. Configure your MCP client and start writing memory.
Set up Claude Desktop
Three steps. Should take under five minutes. Same install path the founder uses on his daily writing workflow.
- 1.
Install the package
npm install -g engramport
Requires Node 18+. Works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
- 2.
Edit your Claude Desktop config
Add the entry below to
claude_desktop_config.json. File location by platform:- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json - Linux:
~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{ "mcpServers": { "engramport": { "command": "engramport", "env": { "ENGRAMPORT_API_URL": "https://api.engramport.com", "ENGRAMPORT_API_KEY": "<paste your ek_ key here>", "ENGRAMPORT_NAMESPACE": "<your namespace>" } } } }The
ek_key was shown on the previous screen. If you have an existing config with other servers, add theengramportentry under the samemcpServersblock. - macOS:
- 3.
Restart Claude Desktop
Fully quit (tray icon → Quit, not just close the window). When you reopen, you'll have these tools available in any chat:
remember,recall,groom,dream,inspect.
Using a different MCP client?
Same npm package, same three env vars, different config file. Cursor, Continue.dev, Cline, and any custom agent that speaks MCP can point at EngramPort the same way. Refer to your client's MCP setup docs for the config file location.
ENGRAMPORT_API_URL=https://api.engramport.com ENGRAMPORT_API_KEY=<your ek_ key> ENGRAMPORT_NAMESPACE=<your namespace>
Bring your own LLM
EngramPort routes inference through your own provider key. Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, and Mistral are all supported. The credential management UI ships in the next release; in the meantime, add your provider key via:
curl -X POST https://api.engramport.com/v1/llm-credentials/save \
-H "X-API-Key: <your ek_ key>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"provider": "anthropic", "label": "default", "key": "sk-ant-..."}'Lost your key?
We don't store the raw key, so we can't show it again. Email hello@covenantsystems.ai with your tenant slug and we'll issue you a fresh one. The old key stays invalidated.
Coming next
Full dashboard with key rotation, usage stats, LLM credential management, and team controls ships in the next release. Email hello@covenantsystems.ai if you need any of these before then.
