Basic Memory

Basic Memory is a local-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables bi-directional knowledge management between AI assistants (like Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and others) and your local Markdown files. It lets AI assistants read and write structured notes, persist project context, and build semantic knowledge graphs through natural language—integrating closely with tools like Obsidian and offering cross-platform and optional cloud sync. This platform is designed for users who want persistent AI memory, local control over data, and seamless context continuity across devices and AI chat clients.
