Getting Started

Asimov is a platform that enhances your AI coding assistant by providing it additional tools for memory management, context storage, source indexing, and web search capabilities.
To get started with Asimov:
  1. Sign up at Asimov
  2. Generate an API key from your settings
  3. Configure your AI assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf) with the MCP server
  4. Start using Asimov tools in your workflow
See our Quickstart guide for detailed instructions.

​
Context Management

Context storage allows you to save conversation history with timestamps. This is useful for:
  • Sharing conversations between different coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc)
  • Continuing work across different sessions

​
Source Management

You can index:
  • Documentation websites (e.g., framework docs, API references)
  • GitHub repositories (view structure and search code)
Ask your assistant to index a documentation site:
"Index the Supabase docs at https://supabase.com/docs" 
or "Index Supabase docs"
Once indexed, you can search the documentation without leaving your editor.
Yes! Use the repository view tool to see the file structure of any GitHub repository:
"Show me the file structure of the socket.io GitHub repo"
This helps your agent and you to understand the repository tree structure, before indexing it.
Yes! Use the repository select tool to read the content of a specific file in a repository:
"Read the content of "Field" component from shadcn-ui/ui and implpement it with our OWN colorful branding."
This helps your agent and you to understand the repository tree structure, before indexing it.
Asimov’s web search tool allows your AI assistant to find up-to-date information, documentation, and GitHub repositories in real-time. It’s useful for:
  • Finding latest API versions
  • Discovering new libraries
  • Verifying documentation
You can search for:
  • Documentation and tutorials
  • GitHub repositories
  • Code examples
  • Technical articles
  • API references

​
Billing & Usage

Asimov offers flexible pricing based on your usage needs. Visit our pricing page for detailed information about plans and features.
Usage limits depend on your subscription plan. You can monitor your usage in your account dashboard at Dashboard.
Yes! You can change your subscription plan at any time from your account settings.

​
Troubleshooting

Common solutions:
  • Verify your API key is correct in the configuration
  • Restart your AI assistant after adding the configuration
  • Check that npx is available in your PATH
  • Ensure you have an active internet connection
  • Check the assistant’s console/logs for error messages
If Asimov tools aren’t showing up:
  1. Verify the configuration file is in the correct location:
    • Claude Code: ~/.config/claude/claude_desktop_config.json
    • Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
    • Windsurf: ~/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/mcp.json (macOS)
    • Codex: ~/.codex/config.toml
  2. Check the configuration syntax is correct (valid JSON for Claude/Cursor/Windsurf, valid TOML for Codex)
  3. Restart your assistant completely
  4. Check for error messages in the logs
If you’re getting API key errors:
  • Generate a new API key from asimov.mov/settings/api
  • Update your MCP configuration with the new key
  • Ensure there are no extra spaces or quotes in the API key
  • Restart your assistant after updating the configuration
