Start with the Custom GPT if you use ChatGPT, or the Browser Extension for other platforms. These are the easiest to set up and use.
I use multiple AI platforms

The Browser Extension is your best choice. It works with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and many others from a single installation.
I use MCP-compatible tools

Set up the MCP Server if you’re already using Claude Desktop, Cline, Continue, or any of the 100+ MCP-compatible clients.
Can I combine them?
Can I combine them?
Yes, and on Claude it is the recommended setup: the remote MCP server lets Claude call your memory tools itself, and the browser extension keeps your chats syncing into chat history. The integrations share one memory, so mixing them never creates duplicates. Remember that ongoing chat history sync always needs the extension, whichever integration you read memories through.
