Deprecations

Claude Code Plugin

The standalone Claude Code plugin shipped from this repository is deprecated.

Status

  • Deprecated in the current release line
  • Still shipped for one compatibility release
  • Planned removal: the release after the unified install workflow lands

Why

@verygoodplugins/mcp-automem now treats the npm CLI as the canonical install channel for Claude Code and the rest of the supported clients. Keeping a separate plugin payload created duplicate copies of hooks, prompts, and helper scripts, which drifted from the canonical templates under templates/.

The repository direction is now:

  • one repo
  • one npm package
  • one source of truth under templates/

Recommended Path

Use the Claude Code CLI installer:

npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem claude-code

This is the supported Claude Code integration path until the unified install command lands.

Migration for Existing Plugin Users

  1. Remove the AutoMem plugin from Claude Code using the Claude Code plugin manager.
  2. Run the supported installer:
npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem claude-code
  1. Restart Claude Code.
  2. Verify the memory MCP server tools are available and that ~/.claude/settings.json contains the AutoMem MCP permissions.

If your old plugin install namespaced the MCP tool prefix, update any custom permissions or local notes to use the canonical mcp__memory__* tool names after migration.

Scope of This Deprecation

Deprecated:

  • Claude Code plugin installation via the marketplace payload in plugins/automem
  • Claude Code plugin marketplace metadata in .claude-plugin/marketplace.json

Not deprecated:

  • npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem claude-code
  • manual/export-based setup for advanced users
  • the Claude Code integration itself

Follow-up

A follow-up branch will add:

  • npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem install
  • manifest-based install tracking
  • status, uninstall, and export orchestration

After that lands, the deprecated Claude Code plugin payload will be removed.
