Basic Memory

MCP serverDocs & knowledge

Basic Memory gives your AI a local knowledge base of plain Markdown notes. Once added, your AI can save new notes and search everything already stored, so details are easy to find again later. Notes stay on your own machine as regular files you can read and edit.

Unavailable. This server has no hosted endpoint yet, so Ahel can't serve it.

Add to setup to save this item as a reference. Ahel cannot run it, and signing in will not install it.

What your AI can do with it

  • Save notes to a local knowledge base
  • Search saved notes to find information on demand
  • Look up earlier notes while answering your questions
  • Keep notes as plain Markdown files you can open and edit yourself
  • Store everything locally on your own machine

Getting started

  1. Save this item in Your setup as a reference.
  2. Read the source or reference documentation for its setup requirements. Saving it here does not connect it to your AI.
  3. Check this page for availability before trying to install it through Ahel.
