Prasanna721 4d86b728dd update supermemory mcp docs (#1408)
Updates the Supermemory MCP docs for the revamped tool, space, widget, and OAuth flows.

- adds a screenshot-backed ChatGPT Web setup guide with light and dark variants
- refreshes the overview, setup, tools, spaces, and widget docs
- keeps manual JSON configuration in a dropdown

Tested all four local MCP docs routes and image references.

for mcp image light mode -> dark mode images and dark mode has light mode (since the background was blending in i made this way to refocus user attention on the screenshots)

## Server URL
```text
https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp
```
Add the remote server to your MCP client:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"supermemory": {
"url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
```
Supermemory MCP uses OAuth. Your client opens the authorization page so you can sign in and approve access. No API key or custom header is required.
## Choose a space
After connecting, space-aware tools use your active Supermemory space or account default. You can work in another space in two ways:
- Name a space for a one-off action without changing your active space.
- Ask to switch your active space for future actions.
See [How spaces work](/supermemory-mcp/mcp#how-spaces-work) for examples and routing rules.
## Client-specific setup
### ChatGPT Web
Enable developer mode, add Supermemory from the ChatGPT Plugins page, and complete OAuth. See the [ChatGPT Web guide](/supermemory-mcp/chatgpt-web) for the complete flow.
### Claude Desktop and Claude web
Open **Settings > Connectors**, add a custom connector, and enter the server URL. See the [Claude Desktop guide](/supermemory-mcp/claude-desktop) for the complete flow.
### Cursor
Add the server to `~/.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"supermemory": {
"url": "https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp"
}
}
}
```
You can also use the install option in [app.supermemory.ai](https://app.supermemory.ai).
### Other MCP clients
Add `https://mcp.supermemory.ai/mcp` as a remote HTTP MCP server and complete the OAuth flow opened by your client. Exact menu names and configuration locations vary between clients.
Clients with MCP Apps support render the space picker, guided save, file upload, and memory graph directly in the conversation.
## Verify the connection
Start with any of these requests:
- "What Supermemory spaces can I access?"
- "What is my active Supermemory space?"
- "Search my saved context for the launch plan."
- "I want to upload a file to Supermemory."
- "Show my memory graph."
The [MCP overview](/supermemory-mcp/mcp) documents every tool, widget, resource, and the `context` prompt.
