Recommended paths
I need the main website flow first
Read Website. That guide covers sign-in, onboarding, opening the memory graph, API key entry points, and event or gathering invites.
I want EchoMemory in browser chats
Read Chrome Extension first. Add the MCP guide later only if you want the same memories available inside your IDE or Claude.
I want the native Echo experience on my phone
Read EchoChat iOS App. That page now includes the walkthrough videos and the screenshot-based product tour that used to live on the separate demo page.
I want my coding agent to remember past work
Read MCP Server. That is the cleanest path for Cursor, Windsurf, Claude web connectors, and Claude Desktop.
I want to sync markdown notes from OpenClaw
Read OpenClaw Plugin. That guide covers local UI, sync behavior, Slack commands, and config.
I need an API key for MCP or OpenClaw
Read Get API Key before touching either config guide.
