Give Claude a Memory: How to Make Claude Remember Your Work

Here is a moment everyone who uses Claude for work knows.

On Monday, you spend twenty minutes walking Claude through your project. The client, the timeline, the budget constraint, the thing your boss cares about most. And the conversation that follows is great. Claude gets it. It drafts the email exactly the way you would have, just faster.

On Thursday, you open a new conversation to follow up. And Claude asks you what the project is.

It is not that Claude is bad at its job. It is that each conversation starts fresh. Whatever you explained on Monday lives in Monday's chat. Thursday's chat never heard of it. You can keep notes in a Project, and that helps, but it only holds what you remember to paste in. The everyday details (what you decided, who said what, why you changed direction) slip away the moment the conversation ends.

We built MemoryRouter to fix exactly this.

What changes when Claude remembers

MemoryRouter gives Claude a memory that carries across every conversation. Once connected, here is what your week looks like instead:

Monday, you talk through the project like always. Tuesday, you open a brand new chat and say "draft the follow-up for the Hendricks proposal" and Claude just... does it. It knows who Hendricks is. It knows what was in the proposal. It knows you decided to lead with the timeline instead of the price, because you told it that last week.

You stop re-explaining. You stop scrolling back through old conversations hunting for the one where you worked out the details. You stop keeping a separate document of "things Claude needs to know." You just talk, and it remembers, the way a good colleague does.

It remembers the things that matter: your projects, the people in them, the decisions you made and why, your preferences (you like short emails, you never use exclamation points, your boss wants bullet points). Every conversation builds on the last one instead of starting from zero.

Connecting it takes about a minute

MemoryRouter connects to Claude as a connector, which is something you add once in your settings. No software to install, nothing technical to maintain. Here is the exact path:

1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors.
2. Click Add custom connector.
3. Paste this address: https://mcp.memoryrouter.ai/mcp
4. Click Connect, then sign in with Google or GitHub.

That is it. From that point on, Claude can check its memory before answering you and save the important parts of each conversation as you go. It works in regular Claude conversations and in Cowork.

The first conversation after you connect feels normal. The second one is where it clicks: Claude references something from the first one, unprompted, and you realize you are not starting over anymore.

Your whole team, one shared memory

This is where it gets genuinely powerful for teams.

When your team shares a MemoryRouter memory, everyone's Claude draws from the same pool of knowledge. Your colleague explains the client's quirks to Claude in March. You join the account in May, ask Claude for background, and it already knows. The decision your team made in a Tuesday discussion is available to everyone's Claude on Wednesday, without anyone writing a memo.

New people ramp up faster because the context is already there. Nothing walks out the door when someone goes on vacation. The longer your team uses it, the smarter every conversation gets, because the shared memory keeps compounding.

One brain, shared by the whole team. That is the pitch, and it is exactly what it feels like.

Common questions

Is my data safe? Yes. Your memories are encrypted, stored in your own private vault, isolated from everyone else's. You can see what is stored and delete any of it, or all of it, anytime.

Do I need to install anything? No. It is a connector you add once in Claude's settings. There is nothing on your computer to install, update, or break.

What if I stop using it? Remove the connector in Settings and Claude goes back to how it was. Your memories stay in your vault until you delete them.

Try it free

Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and there is no charge today. Plans start at $20/mo, which covers far more memory than most people use in a month.

If you have ever ended a great Claude conversation knowing you would have to rebuild it from scratch next time, this is the fix.

Start your free trial, then add the connector. By next week, Claude will know your work better than your inbox does.
