Show HN: Cursor IDE now remembers your coding prefs using MCP

Hi, I'm Daniel from Zep. I've integrated the Cursor IDE with Graphiti, our open-source temporal knowledge graph framework, to provide Cursor with persistent memory across sessions. The goal was simple: help Cursor remember your coding preferences, standards, and project specs, so you don't have to constantly remind it.
Before this integration, Cursor (an AI-assisted IDE many of us already use daily) lacked a robust way to persist user context. To solve this, I used Graphiti’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows structured data exchange between the IDE and Graphiti's temporal knowledge graph.
Key points of how this works:
- Custom entities like 'Requirement', 'Preference', and 'Procedure' precisely capture coding standards and project specs.
- Real-time updates let Cursor adapt instantly—if you change frameworks or update standards, the memory updates immediately.
- Persistent retrieval ensures Cursor always recalls your latest preferences and project decisions, acros
