Connect Trae to Relay
Give Trae a memory it shares with your other AIs. Plans, progress and reviews saved in Trae can be picked up by any of the 25 AI tools Relay works with, and the other way round. It takes about two minutes.
- What you need
- Free IDE
- How it connects
- One command or config entry (MCP)
1. Get your connection link
- Sign in to Relay with Google. It's free during the beta.
- Open Integrations, click Set up on Trae, then Generate connection URL. Copy it straight away: it's shown only once.
- Below,
YOUR-KEYstands for your link. The dashboard shows the same steps with your link already filled in.
2. Add Relay to Trae
- In Trae, open Settings → MCP → Add → Add Manually (or
.trae/mcp.jsonin a project) and paste:{ "mcpServers": { "relay": { "url": "https://mcp.relaymemory.app/mcp/YOUR-KEY" } } } - Save, then use Relay from Trae's agent chat.
3. Test it
Send this in Trae. It should answer from your Relay memory:
What's waiting for me in Relay?
Make it save on its own
- In a Trae session, send this once:
In every conversation, store our work in Relay: save new plans, add progress updates as we go, and keep it up to date.
- Trae asks permission to use Relay. Choose Allow always, so it saves as you work. Deleting always asks you first.
- To keep it on in new sessions, add the same sentence to your project's instructions file (for example
AGENTS.md).
Using Relay in Trae every day
- Once added, Relay loads in every session. There's nothing to switch on.
- When it asks to run a Relay tool, approve it. Most tools let you always allow it, so it stops asking.
- Make it automatic: add this line to your project's instructions file (for example
AGENTS.md), and it checks Relay on its own.At the start of a task, check Relay for the latest plan for this project. When you finish, add a progress update to Relay.
