Basic Memory is an MCP server that gives AI assistants persistent, structured memory by storing knowledge as plain Markdown files on disk or in a hosted cloud workspace. It builds a local-first knowledge graph from notes, observations, and wikilinks, and exposes that graph to Claude Desktop, Claude Code, and any other MCP-compatible client through tools tagged with behavior hints (read-only, destructive, idempotent) so agents can select the appropriate tool without wasting context window on trial and error. Semantic search lets the AI retrieve notes by meaning rather than exact keywords, and bidirectional sync keeps human edits in Obsidian or any text editor consistent with what the AI reads and writes. The self-hosted version is free under AGPL-3.0 and requires only Python via uv, while a hosted tier adds cross-device sync, point-in-time snapshots, and one-click client connection for $15 per month. Developers, consultants, and teams who want to stop re-explaining project context at the start of every conversation are the primary audience.
