FAQ
Do I need a cloud account?
No. ThumbGate runs entirely locally. Your feedback, rules, and gates never leave your machine.
What is the .mcpb bundle?
It is a packaged Claude Desktop extension that includes the ThumbGate MCP server, tool definitions, and manifest — ready to install without building from source.
Does this work with Claude Code too?
Yes. The same npx mcp-memory-gateway init command works for both Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Use --claude-desktop for the Desktop-specific setup.
