A local-first MCP server for persistent agent memory in Markdown files
A local-first MCP server and Claude Code plugin that keeps everything in plain Markdown files. Conversations with the agent and your notes stay in your own files, which you can manage with tools like Obsidian. With support for Codex, Cursor, and VS Code, plus setup that takes just a few minutes, it’s one of the strongest options for data ownership.
People who want their memory stored entirely in their own files in a human-readable format.
