memory-mcp
A local-first MCP server that exposes personal notes and files as unified semantic context for AI agents via vector search and file monitoring.
README
Personal MCP Ecosystem
A modular, local-first infrastructure that exposes your personal data — files, notes, browser history, code activity, conversations — as unified semantic context via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Any AI agent can plug into this and instantly know you.
Features
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Semantic Search | Query your notes by meaning using ChromaDB + sentence-transformers |
| Knowledge Graph | Neo4j-backed entity extraction with relationship mapping |
| File Reader | Read PDFs, DOCX, Markdown, code files from anywhere on disk |
| Browser History | Search your Chrome browsing history |
| Code Activity | Git commits, repo stats, and VSCode recent files |
| Conversations | Search exported Claude & ChatGPT conversations |
| Event Logger | Real-time file change tracking via watchdog |
| Unified Gateway | FastAPI + LangGraph agent that routes queries across all sources |

Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- uv — Python package manager
- Docker — for Neo4j (optional)
- Google Chrome — for browser history (optional)
1. Clone & Install
git clone https://github.com/Shaktisinhchavda/memory-mcp.git
cd memory-mcp
uv sync
2. Configure
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your settings (defaults work out of the box)
3. Add Your Notes
Place markdown or text files in data/notes/:
# Example
echo "# My Project Ideas" > data/notes/ideas.md
4. Index & Build
# Index notes into ChromaDB vector store
uv run python scripts/index_notes.py
# Start Neo4j (optional — for knowledge graph)
docker compose up -d
# Build knowledge graph from notes
uv run python scripts/build_graph.py
5. Run
Option A — Claude Desktop Integration (recommended)
Add to %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memory-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:\\memory-mcp", "run", "python", "core_mcp/server.py"]
},
"files-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:\\memory-mcp", "run", "python", "connectors/files_mcp/server.py"]
},
"browser-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:\\memory-mcp", "run", "python", "connectors/browser_mcp/server.py"]
},
"code-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:\\memory-mcp", "run", "python", "connectors/code_mcp/server.py"]
},
"conversations-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:\\memory-mcp", "run", "python", "connectors/conversations_mcp/server.py"]
},
"graph-mcp": {
"command": "uv",
"args": ["--directory", "D:\\memory-mcp", "run", "python", "knowledge_graph/server.py"]
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. You'll see the 🔨 icon.
Option B — Unified Gateway (HTTP API)
uv run uvicorn gateway.server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000
Open Swagger UI at http://localhost:8000/docs.
