Hey! You're mixing up two different things:

1. Claude Desktop's built-in `/memory` command (what you tried) - just lists CLAUDE.md files 2. Recall MCP server (this project) - completely separate tool you need to install

Recall doesn't work through slash commands. It's an MCP server that needs setup:

1. Install: npm install -g @joseairosa/recall 2. Add to claude_desktop_config.json 3. Restart Claude Desktop 4. Then Claude can use memory tools automatically in conversation

Quick test after setup: "Remember: I prefer TypeScript" - Claude will store it in Redis.

Sorry for the confusion, I was purely commenting about Claude. I have not tried your MCP.
