Get Started
Basic Memory uses the Model Context Protol (MCP) to connect with LLMs. It can be used with any service that supports the MCP, but Claude Desktop works especially well.
Install into your local environment
# Install with uv (recommended)
uv tool install basic-memory
# configure mcpServers config
"mcpServers": {
"basic-memory": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["basic-memory", "mcp"]
}
}
Once installed, you can start saving knowledge from any Claude conversation.
