Claude Code

Prerequisites

• Claude Code CLI installed
• A Shot API key (see Getting Started)

Configuration

Create or edit .mcp.json in your project root:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shot": {
      "type": "url",
      "url": "https://outofmemory.app/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer smc_your-api-key-here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace smc_your-api-key-here with your actual API key.

Verify the connection

Start a new Claude Code session in the project directory and ask:

"Search my team memory for any decisions."

Claude Code should call search_memories and return results (or an empty list if no memories exist yet).

Tips

• Project-scoped keys — If you work on multiple projects, create a separate API key scoped to each project and use it in that project's .mcp.json.
• Team sharing — Add .mcp.json to .gitignore if it contains API keys. Alternatively, use environment variables and reference them in the config.
• Global config — To make Shot available in all projects, add it to your global Claude Code settings instead of a per-project .mcp.json.
