Install a Brain into Claude Code in 2 Minutes (MCP)

This is the fast path: from zero to a Claude Code agent with a persistent, cross-session brain in about two minutes. No database to stand up, no schema to design.

1. Install the brain

One command wires MemMesh into Claude Code over MCP and drops the server config into place:

npx @memmesh/cli install

2. Confirm it's connected

Restart Claude Code and check that the MemMesh MCP server is listed. The agent now has brain tools available: observe (write) and search/recall (read).

3. Let it observe

You don't have to do anything special — as you work, the brain records what matters. Or feed it explicitly from your own code with the SDK:

import { ThinkFleetMemory } from '@thinkfleet/memory-sdk'

const tf = new ThinkFleetMemory({ apiKey: 'sk-...', projectId: 'proj_...' })

await tf.memory.observe({
  subject: { kind: 'project', externalId: 'checkout-svc' },
  content: 'We dropped the queue on May 3 — latency, not throughput, was the bottleneck.',
})

4. Recall in a new session

Open a fresh Claude Code session tomorrow and ask about the project. The agent recalls the decision — with provenance — because the brain outlived the context window.

const hits = await tf.memory.admin.search({
  query: 'why did we drop the queue?',
  limit: 5,
})

5. Go beyond recall

Once there's history, ask the brain to forecast. This is the part that separates a brain from a plain memory store:

const p = await tf.lattice.predict({ subjectId, target: 'next_incident_area' })
// → calibrated, provenanced, abstains when the signal is thin

That's it. Keep your stable rules in CLAUDE.md; let the brain carry the learned, evolving context — and the predictions.
