Choose your integration
Oort reaches your agent four ways: Claude Code hooks, the MCP server, the TypeScript SDK and the CLI. They share one memory, so you can start with one and add another later.

Hooks: Claude Code
Setup installs three hooks in Claude Code. One recalls before each prompt and injects what it finds, one queues the finished turn to be saved, and one primes a new session. The model calls nothing, and the chat never waits for a save.
oort setupStart with the quickstart. Setup connects the MCP server too, so the model can also recall on purpose.
MCP: any agent host
oort mcp is a local MCP server with recall, remember, forget and a few more tools. The host starts it, and the model decides when to use them. oort connect <host> writes the entry for you.
oort connect cursorSee the guide for your agent under Agents, Any MCP client, or Agent frameworks for LangGraph, the OpenAI Agents SDK and Mastra.
SDK: your own app
createOort() runs the same engine inside your Node.js process, with typed results and errors. Your code decides when to recall and what to save, and scoped() gives each end user a memory of their own.
npm i oortmemStart with the SDK quick start.
CLI: scripts and other languages
Every command takes --json and prints one oort.v1 envelope, so a shell script, a CI job or a Python program can recall and save memories. Each call starts a process.
oort recall "how do we deploy?" --jsonFrom Python, see Python today. Every command and flag is in the CLI reference.
Mixing them
- What the Claude Code hooks saved, Cursor recalls over MCP and your script reads with the CLI: they all use your Planet (see Concepts).
- An app's end users are kept apart from you. Memories the SDK writes for a
usernever show up in your ownoort recall.
