Claude Code Integration

BaseLayer works with Claude Code in two ways: automatic capture of your conversations, and MCP recall so Claude Code can search your memory.

​
Capture (automatic)

The BaseLayer desktop app automatically detects Claude Code conversations via its IDE watcher. No setup needed, just make sure the desktop app is running. Verify in Settings → IDE Watchers. You should see Claude Code listed.

​
Recall (MCP setup)

To give Claude Code access to your memory, add BaseLayer as an MCP server: 
claude mcp add --transport sse baselayer https://api.baselayer.id/mcp
Once added, Claude Code can use all BaseLayer tools: ask_question, record_memory, recent_conversations, and more.

​
Verify the connection

claude mcp list
You should see baselayer listed. Then in a Claude Code session, try:
“What do you know about me?”
Claude Code should call ask_question and return knowledge from your memory.

​
Both together

With both capture and recall active, Claude Code becomes a fully integrated part of your knowledge workflow:
  1. Your Claude Code conversations are captured to your memory
  2. Claude Code can search your memory for context from all your AI tools
  3. Knowledge flows freely between Claude Code and every other connected tool
