Build a persistent semantic graph from conversations with AI assistants using standard Markdown files.
About
Basic Memory is a knowledge management system enabling users to build a persistent, locally-stored knowledge base through natural language conversations with Large Language Models (LLMs). Leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it allows compatible LLMs like Claude to both read from and write to your knowledge base, which is stored entirely in standard Markdown files on your computer, ensuring full data ownership and control. Seamless integration with Obsidian.md allows users to view and edit notes within a familiar environment, making it a simple and effective way to build a personal knowledge base that grows over time.
Key Features
- Local-first knowledge storage in Markdown files
- Bi-directional knowledge access for humans and LLMs
- Structured knowledge graph creation using semantic Markdown patterns
- Integration with Obsidian.md
- Uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) for AI integration
Use Cases
