Connect STEM shared memory to Claude

Documentation reviewed 2026-10-25. Host verification dates are listed separately.

Tested workflow. An existing Claude remote connector has completed an authorized save and recall in the same chat, another connected assistant and a fresh Claude chat. Claude Code configuration below is documented setup, not a separate STEM runtime certification.

Claude remote connector

1. Open the Stem connector listing in Claude. Alternatively, open Claude's connector settings and add a custom remote connector named STEM.
2. For a custom connector, enter https://awase.dev/stem. Use browser sign-in with OAuth. If Claude asks how to identify its OAuth client, choose Register automatically, which uses STEM's dynamic client registration.
3. Sign in to your existing STEM account and approve access, then enable the connector in a conversation. Run the save and recall test.

Claude's organization controls and account limits may affect setup. Its remote connectors are account-based and differ from local desktop configuration files. Follow Claude's current custom-connector instructions for your account.

Use the same STEM account in each assistant. Your assistant may have its own subscription requirements, account restrictions and tool approvals. A connection is ready when an authenticated STEM tool succeeds.

Claude Code

In a terminal on the computer running Claude Code, add the remote HTTP server:

claude mcp add --transport http stem https://awase.dev/stem

Then run /mcp inside Claude Code, choose STEM and complete browser authorization. Enable its tools for the session and perform the quickstart check. See Claude Code's MCP documentation for configuration scopes and managed environments.

Continue a ChatGPT project in Claude

Ask ChatGPT to save the approved project summary to STEM, then ask Claude to recall that project. Both connectors must use the same STEM account. The context transfer guide explains what is saved and how to check it.

Choose what gets remembered

Ask explicitly to save with remember. Optional automatic memory is a separate choice for each eligible OAuth connection in STEM Settings → Memory preferences. The agent must call memory_status with {} before an automatic save, require automaticSavingAllowed: true, and use remember_automatically. Host approvals still apply. Switching to manual does not erase existing memories.

STEM saves selected context supplied by a connected assistant. Connecting does not import earlier conversations, give access to other chats, or guarantee a save on every turn. Do not save passwords, tokens or secrets.
