Dhravya Shah 1dec8f464d fix(docs): prefix JSX-prop image paths with /docs to fix 404s
Markdown ![]() images get auto-rewritten by Mintlify to mintcdn.com URLs
and work fine, but JSX-prop image references (icon=, imageUrl=, avatar=,
src=) using /images/... are left as literal root-relative paths, which
404 since the docs site is mounted at supermemory.ai/docs. Prefixed all
such references with /docs.

[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 set `baseUrl` in project config (or point your install at your local API) and use the API key printed on first boot.
</Tip>
## Install the Plugin
> **Requires Node.js 18+** on your PATH — the memory hooks run as Node scripts.
```bash
# Add the plugin marketplace
/plugin marketplace add supermemoryai/claude-supermemory
# Install the plugin
/plugin install supermemory
```
<Note>
**Migrating from the old `claude-supermemory` plugin name?** It was renamed to `supermemory` and will not update in place:
```bash
/plugin marketplace update supermemory-plugins
/plugin install supermemory@supermemory-plugins
# Only if the old plugin is still installed:
/plugin uninstall claude-supermemory@supermemory-plugins
```
</Note>
## Authenticate
Create a Supermemory API key from [app.supermemory.ai](https://app.supermemory.ai) (or [API Keys](https://console.supermemory.ai/keys)), then add it to your shell profile:
<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>
## How It Works
Once installed, the plugin runs automatically:
- **Reasoned recall** — Before each turn, Claude decides whether recalling memory would help the current message, and only searches when it is worth it.
- **Auto-capture** — Conversations and important tool usage are saved for later sessions.
- **Team memory** — Project knowledge is shared separately from personal memories.
- **Explicit skills** — Ask Claude to search or save memories when you need control.
## Commands
| Command | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `/supermemory:index` | Index codebase architecture and patterns |
| `/supermemory:project-config` | Configure project-level settings |
| `/supermemory:logout` | Clear saved credentials |
| `/supermemory:session` | Show a clickable URL for the current session document |
| `/supermemory:status` | Show authentication status |
## Configuration
### Environment Variables
```bash
SUPERMEMORY_CC_API_KEY=sm_... # Required
SUPERMEMORY_DEBUG=true # Optional: enable debug logging
```
### Global Settings
Create `~/.supermemory-claude/settings.json`:
```json
{
"maxProfileItems": 5,
"signalExtraction": true,
"signalKeywords": ["remember", "architecture", "decision", "bug", "fix"],
"signalTurnsBefore": 3,
"includeTools": ["Edit", "Write"]
}
```
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `maxProfileItems` | Max memories in context (default: 5) |
| `recallDirective` | Override the built-in reasoned-recall instruction |
| `signalExtraction` | Only capture important turns (default: false) |
| `signalKeywords` | Keywords that trigger capture |
| `signalTurnsBefore` | Context turns before a signal (default: 3) |
| `includeTools` | Tools to explicitly capture |
### Project Config
Per-repo overrides in `.claude/.supermemory-claude/config.json`. Run `/supermemory:project-config` or create manually:
```json
{
"apiKey": "sm_...",
"baseUrl": "https://api.supermemory.ai",
"repoContainerTag": "my-team-project",
"signalExtraction": true
}
```
| Option | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `apiKey` | Project-specific API key |
| `baseUrl` | Supermemory API URL (use for self-hosted) |
| `personalContainerTag` | Override personal container |
| `repoContainerTag` | Override team container tag |
