​

Prerequisites

• Cline installed (VS Code extension)
• CORE account (sign up at app.getcore.me)

​

Step 1: Open Cline MCP Settings

1. Open Cline in VS Code
2. Click the hamburger menu icon (☰) to enter the MCP Servers section

​

Step 2: Navigate to Remote Servers

1. Choose the Remote Servers tab
2. Click the Edit Configuration button

​

Step 3: Add CORE MCP Server Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "core-memory": {
      "url": "https://app.getcore.me/api/v1/mcp?source=Cline",
      "type": "streamableHttp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

​

Step 4: Generate API Key

1. Log in to your CORE dashboard at app.getcore.me
2. Navigate to Settings → API Key
3. Click Generate new key
4. Name it “cline”
5. Copy the generated API key
6. Replace YOUR_API_KEY in the configuration above with your actual API key

​

Step 5: Verify Connection

1. Test memory search: Ask Cline: Can you search my memory for [something you've previously stored]?
2. Check connection status: Verify that core-memory appears as connected in your MCP servers
3. Test operations: Ask Cline to store and retrieve information across sessions

​

Enable Automatic Memory Integration (Recommended)

​

Create Memory Rule

1. Create the rule file at clinerules/core-memory.md in your project root:

mkdir -p clinerules
touch clinerules/core-memory.md

2. Add the memory protocol from the Memory Rules guide to this file.
