Your memories shouldn't be locked inside one AI. AI Pensieve is a local-first, cross-AI memory layer that lets you import conversations and agent sessions from different AI platforms into a unified SQLite database. Your memory stays local, portable, and under your control instead of being locked inside a single AI provider.

# [AI Pensieve MCP](https://github.com/AS-XS/AI-Pensieve-MCP) 中文版：[README](README.zh-CN.md) · [客户端设置](docs/AI_CLIENTS.zh-CN.md) · [用户指南](docs/USER_GUIDE.zh-CN.md) Search your imported AI conversations locally, either through the illustrated desktop room or from an MCP client. > **Privacy:** the archive stays on your computer and MCP tools are read-only. > Retrieved excerpts may be sent to the AI provider connected to your client. > [How your data is handled](docs/privacy/README.md) ## Install Open the desktop with [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/): ```sh uvx ai-pensieve ``` For a persistent command: ```sh pipx install ai-pensieve pensieve ``` To run only the read-only MCP server against an existing archive: ```sh uvx ai-pensieve-mcp /absolute/path/to/archive.sqlite ``` See the [package installation guide](docs/INSTALLATION.md) for client setup, platform requirements, persistent archive locations, and source installation. ## Use the desktop 1. Open the wooden door and touch the Pensieve. 2. Choose **Import a memory**, then select a provider bottle, **Unmarked** for auto-detection, or **Find & import local sessions**. 3. Choose an exported file or folder, inspect the selection, and pour it into the basin. The original files stay unchanged. 4. Choose **Search the waters**, search by keyword, and open a smoke result to read the original thread. The GUI imports ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, and supported coding sessions. NotebookLM currently provides notebook metadata only. See the [full compatibility matrix](docs/COMPATIBILITY.md) and [export guide](docs/EXPORT_GUIDE.md). ## Connect an AI client Import an archive first, then follow [AI client setup](docs/AI_CLIENTS.md) and check the [client verification status](docs/COMPATIBILITY.md#mcp-clients). Version 0.2.0 adds **shelf → Connect to an AI** for copyable setup and `pensieve --demo` to try invented memories in a temporary archive. Try prompts such as: > Search my archive for discussions about machine learning. Show the source > conversations and dates supporting your answer. > Find discussions of my project across different AI providers and compare the > decisions recorded in them. [More example prompts and tool details](docs/EXAMPLE_PROMPTS.md). The archive is a local snapshot: import or refresh again when new conversations should appear. For command-line imports, custom source folders, and revision and deduplication rules, see the [user guide](docs/USER_GUIDE.md).
