Basic Memory

by basicmachines-co · AI & ML · mcp-server, pypi

Knowledge management system that builds a persistent semantic graph in markdown, locally.

How It Works Interact naturally with AIs to build and access your knowledge base.

1 Build on Past Knowledge AI references previous notes in future conversations.

"Let's continue our conversation about coffee brewing." AI retrieves relevant notes rather than loading everything.

2 Chat Naturally Have normal conversations with AI assistants like Claude.

"Find information about pour over coffee methods." AI searches your knowledge base and summarizes findings.

3 Save Knowledge Ask Claude to create a note about your conversation.
