Install

Run the wizard:

shell

$ npx conare@latest

The wizard signs you in through the browser, detects local AI tools, imports chat history, configures MCP, installs the Conare skill, and can enable background sync.

Use an API key

For CI, remote machines, or non-interactive setup, pass a key from the dashboard:

shell

$ npx conare@latest --key cmem_your_key_here

or:

CONARE_API_KEY=cmem_your_key_here bunx conare@latest

Supported clients

The CLI can configure Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot, Cline, Zed, OpenClaw, and Antigravity.

After setup, restart the AI client so it reloads MCP servers.

Manual MCP config

Use this when the CLI cannot write your client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conare": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://conare.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer cmem_your_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Some clients call the URL field serverUrl instead of url. The CLI handles those differences automatically.

Background sync

Install a local timer that imports new sessions every 10 minutes:

bunx conare@latest --key cmem_your_key_here --install-sync

Change the interval:

bunx conare@latest --key cmem_your_key_here --install-sync --sync-interval 30

Remove it:

bunx conare@latest --uninstall-sync

Log out

Clear the saved key and local hashes, stop background sync, and keep the conare command installed:

bunx conare@latest logout
