basicmachines-co is a Claude Code plugin marketplace that distributes Basic Memory's claude-code plugin so developers can install persistent knowledge graph integration with one marketplace add.
About
basicmachines-co is the Claude Code marketplace entry for Basic Memory's plugin, distributing the claude-code package from the canonical basic-memory repository. Developers add this marketplace when they want one-command install of session briefings, compaction checkpoints, and knowledge capture on top of the Basic Memory MCP server. It is the distribution channel for the memory bridge; the MCP server itself is installed separately.
- Marketplace wrapper for the basic-memory Claude Code plugin in the canonical repo
- Sparse install from basicmachines-co/basic-memory with plugins/claude-code path
- Pairs with uvx basic-memory mcp for semantic search and knowledge graph tools
- Same session hooks and /basic-memory slash commands as the standalone skill

FAQ
How is this different from the basic-memory skill entry?
This is the marketplace distribution path; the skill entry points to the same claude-code plugin source under plugins/claude-code in the repo.
What install commands are used?
Run claude plugin marketplace add Basicmachines Co/basic-memory --sparse .claude-plugin plugins/claude-code then claude plugin install basic-memory@Basicmachines Co.
Is the MCP server included in the marketplace plugin?
No—you install the Basic Memory MCP server separately; the plugin hooks and skills call it at runtime.
