3. After installation, update the plugin settings with my credentials.
Find the plugin's settings.json and set these values:
{
"env": {
"AWARENESS_MCP_URL": "https://awareness.market/mcp",
"AWARENESS_MEMORY_ID": "<MEMORY_ID>",
"AWARENESS_API_KEY": "<API_KEY>",
"AWARENESS_AGENT_ROLE": "builder_agent"

- Ask me for my Awareness API key (starts with "aw_")
- Ask me for my Memory ID (UUID format)
4. Verify the installation:
- Run /mcp to confirm "awareness-memory" appears in the MCP server list
- Check that skills are available: /awareness-memory:session-start
- Test the connection by calling: awareness_init with source="claude-code"
If any step fails, show me the error and suggest a fix.You will need your API Key and Memory ID from the Settings page. Claude Code will ask you for them during setup.
Why Awareness for Claude Code?
Claude Code remembers past decisions, code changes, and architecture across sessions - no more repeating context.
Auto-extracts KnowledgeCards, Risks, and ActionItems - your codebase knowledge grows with every session.
Hybrid vector + full-text search finds the most relevant past context before you start coding.
Team projects with per-user memory isolation. Each role sees its own relevant knowledge.
Conflict detection auto-supersedes outdated decisions. Your knowledge base stays current.
Same memory works in Cursor, VS Code, OpenClaw, or any MCP-compatible IDE.
