Restart fully
Fully quit Claude Desktop (Cmd-Q / Quit from the menu, not just closing
the window) and reopen it.
The important difference
Claude Desktop works differently from the CLI tools: there is no
automatic recall or capture. Memory works through MCP tools that Claude
chooses to call. If it never remembers anything on its own, that’s this
design — not a broken install.
In practice:
- Claude often checks memory on its own when it’s clearly relevant — but not
reliably every message.
- You can always steer it: “check my Atlaso memory first” or “remember
this.”
- For the fully automatic experience, use one of the CLI/IDE tools — see the
setup overview.
Troubleshooting
- Connector doesn’t appear after adding — fully quit from the menu and
reopen; closing the window isn’t enough.
- Never remembers on its own — expected, see above. Ask it to check
memory.
Anything else: Troubleshooting.
