# Ambience for Cursor

> Ambience is a governed team memory layer for Cursor and other MCP-speaking developer agents.

Cursor can connect to the Ambience MCP server to search, read, and save memories. Ambience handles scope checks, redaction, source metadata, and audit at the memory layer.

## Why Ambience

- Local memory helps one developer; Ambience helps the team.
- Project decisions and conventions can follow the work across agent surfaces.
- Source links and conflict review keep memory inspectable as it compounds.
