Dhravya Shah 36fe1cd57f docs: drop Pro-plan requirement banner for Claude Code & OpenCode
The claude_code, opencode and cursor plugins are now free-tier
(supermemoryai/mono#2570), so the 'requires the Supermemory Pro plan'
warning on these integration pages is no longer accurate. OpenClaw
stays paid, so its banner is left in place.

[supermemory](https://github.com/supermemoryai/claude-supermemory) is a Claude Code plugin that gives your AI persistent memory across sessions. Your agent remembers what you worked on — across sessions, across projects.
<Tip>
**Prefer to keep everything on your machine?** This plugin works with [self-hosted Supermemory](/self-hosting/overview) — run `npx supermemory local`, then `export SUPERMEMORY_API_URL="http://localhost:6767"` and use the API key printed on first boot.
</Tip>
## Get Your API Key
Create a Supermemory API key from the [API Keys](https://console.supermemory.ai/keys) page, then add it to your shell profile so it persists across sessions:
<Tabs>
<Tab title="macOS / Linux (zsh)">
```bash
echo 'export SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY="sm_..."' >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="macOS / Linux (bash)">
```bash
echo 'export SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY="sm_..."' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
```
</Tab>
<Tab title="Windows (PowerShell)">
```powershell
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY", "sm_...", "User")
```
Restart your terminal after running this.
</Tab>
</Tabs>
## Install the Plugin
```bash
# Add the plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add supermemoryai/claude-supermemory
# Install the plugin
/plugin install supermemory
```
## How It Works
Once installed, the plugin runs automatically:
- **Context Injection** — On session start, relevant memories are fetched and injected into Claude's context. This includes user preferences, project knowledge, and past interactions.
- **Auto-Capture** — Tool usage is captured and stored during the session for future context.
### What Gets Captured
| Tool | Captured As |
| ----- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Edit | `Edited src/auth.ts: "old code..." → "new code..."` |
| Write | `Created src/new-file.ts (500 chars)` |
| Bash | `Ran: npm test (SUCCESS/FAILED)` |
| Task | `Spawned agent: explore codebase` |
## Commands
### /supermemory:logout
Log out from Supermemory and clear saved credentials.
```
/supermemory:logout
```
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY=sm_... # Required
SUPERMEMORY_SKIP_TOOLS=Read,Glob,Grep # Tools to not capture (optional)
SUPERMEMORY_DEBUG=true # Enable debug logging (optional)
```
### Settings File
Create `~/.supermemory-claude/settings.json`:
```json
{
"skipTools": ["Read", "Glob", "Grep", "TodoWrite"],
"captureTools": ["Edit", "Write", "Bash", "Task"],
"maxContextMemories": 10,
"maxProjectMemories": 20,
"debug": false
}
```
