Claude → Cursor without copy-paste

Share project context between Claude and Cursor

Claude and Cursor each understand the context available inside their own conversation and workspace. They do not automatically share the decision you made in one tool with the other.

Palim acts as a shared MCP memory between them. Save a useful Claude session or a specific decision, then search and retrieve it from Cursor with its source and timestamp.

Claude to Cursor in four steps

1
Connect Claude to Palim
Add Palim as a custom connector in Claude and complete OAuth. Palim becomes available as a set of tools in the conversation where you enable it.
2
Save the useful context
Save either the full session or one durable decision. Be explicit about the terms you will search for later.
```
Save this architecture decision to Palim with the alternatives we rejected.
```
3
Connect Cursor to the same account
Add https://api.usepalim.com/mcp as a remote MCP server in Cursor and finish the browser OAuth flow.
4
Retrieve before implementation
Ask Cursor to search Palim before it starts coding. Use a specific decision name, tag, or project term.
```
Search Palim for our authentication architecture decision, then use it to plan this implementation.
```

Why not paste a summary into Cursor?

Copy-paste works once. It does not create a durable source, and the shortened summary often loses rejected alternatives, constraints, or provenance. Palim keeps the saved record available for later searches and other connected tools.

You remain in control: nothing is imported from Claude or Cursor unless a Palim save tool is explicitly used.

A practical handoff pattern

Use Claude for exploration, save the decision and reasoning to Palim, then let Cursor retrieve that context before editing the repository. After implementation, save the result or debugging discoveries back to Palim for the next tool handoff.

Frequently asked questions

Can Claude and Cursor share the same conversation history directly?

They do not natively share their conversation histories. Palim stores the sessions or decisions you explicitly save and makes them retrievable from both connected clients.

Do I need an API key in Claude or Cursor?

The normal hosted setup uses OAuth in both supported clients. Add the Palim MCP endpoint and finish the browser sign-in flow.

Does Palim read my repository?

No. Palim receives only the content a connected client sends when a Palim tool is called. Repository access remains controlled by the AI client.

Can I delete saved context?

Yes. Individual sessions and memories can be deleted with Palim tools. Account-wide deletion is currently handled through a privacy request.
