- **changed** — Grok Bot does not require Cursor hooks, Claude CLI, or xAI API key

##### Independent Cursor and Grok Bot marketplace plugins

###### Ship claude-mem as two store plugins plus a host-observer install path (#3842)

claude-mem now installs as two independent Cursor marketplace plugins — `claude-mem-cursor` and `claude-mem-grok-bot` — instead of one glued listing. Each host can be installed alone. Grok Bot does not require Cursor hooks, the Claude CLI, or an xAI API key.

**Install matrix**

- `npx claude-mem install --ide cursor`
- `npx claude-mem install --ide grok-bot`
- both flags together is optional

**Observer**

- `--provider host` uses a local OpenAI-compat loopback so the already-logged-in host agent writes observations. No API key. Alias of OpenRouter + loopback URL + dummy key + host model.
- `--provider openrouter` remains the remote path (cmem.ai inference or any OpenAI-compat URL)
- Claude and Gemini providers stay

**Worker**

- Default stays local. Existing `--runtime server --server-url` still points at a remote worker.
- The host-observer shim never binds the worker port. If 37777 is taken, the shim uses 37778 (or `CLAUDE_MEM_HOST_OBSERVER_PORT`). A healthy worker is not restarted.

**Ingest**

- Cursor: existing `hook cursor` events with `platformSource=cursor`
- Grok Bot: no hooks. Transcript watcher on `agent-transcripts/*/*.jsonl` with `platformSource=grok-bot`
- `POST /api/memory/save` honors `metadata.platformSource`

**CLI**

- `npx claude-mem mcp` stdio entry
- `npx claude-mem hook cursor`
