Claude Code is Full tier. The current connection is Streamable HTTP with a bearer token. The universal installer is the path to use. A hand-written URL without Authorization: Bearer does not authenticate to the hosted bridge. Automatic recall injection is off. Capture still runs when the Bash installer writes shared hooks. Set MEMORY_CRYSTAL_INJECT_RECALL to 1 or true to inject. Shared hooks also accept TRUE; any other non-empty value leaves injection off. Grok invocations never inject, even with that variable set.

Agent Instructions

Paste this into Claude Code:
Add --backend local or -Backend local for local data storage. See Local-First Setup.

​
What the Bash installer writes

Hooks are host-attributed. The hook command carries --host claude-code so captures from this host are not labelled with another host that shares ~/.memory-crystal/config.json. Re-run the installer on each host so the argument is present. hooks.shells for Claude Code is bash. Native PowerShell registers MCP, installs skills, and skips shared hooks. Use the Bash installer, including Git Bash on Windows, when you want capture hooks and the managed instructions in CLAUDE.md. The dedicated installer remains available:

​
Manual registration

Point at the hosted bridge only if you also send the bearer token:
A local bridge on port 3100 uses the same header. See MCP Server. Claude Desktop is a separate Tools-tier target. The universal installer configures it with HTTP as well. It does not require the stdio package. See Claude Desktop.

Uninstall

See Uninstall.

​
Verify and troubleshoot

Reopen Claude Code and confirm the memory-crystal server is available. The installer stores shared support files under ~/.memory-crystal and backs up configuration before changing it. If tools are unavailable, check that you configured Claude Code rather than Claude Desktop. For manual registration, verify both the backend URL and Bearer header. A bridge on 127.0.0.1:3100 must be running locally; the hosted URL does not require that local process. If tools work but capture does not, check the hooks in ~/.claude/settings.json and that their command can launch Node. PowerShell installs skills and MCP, but shared capture hooks require Bash. Recall remains a deliberate tool call until you enable injection.

​
Detect clients automatically

Omit --targets to detect installed clients and choose which ones to configure:
The installer offers cloud, local, and external backend choices and backs up config files before writing them. For OpenClaw, native plugin installation is the cloud Bash path; other backend choices use generic MCP guidance.
