Backboard Cross-Project Memory

Cursor plugin that stores and retrieves memories across projects using Backboard.io.

What it does

Memories — patterns, architecture decisions, debugging insights, reusable snippets — persist across all your Cursor projects. Learn something in one project, recall it in another.

Setup

1. Get a Backboard API key from backboard.io
2. Install the plugin from the Cursor Marketplace
3. Set BACKBOARD_API_KEY in your environment (Cursor will prompt via ${BACKBOARD_API_KEY})
