Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{

    "dear-agent": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "dear-agent"
      ],

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add dear-agent --env DEAR_AGENT_DIR=your-value -- npx -y dear-agent

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

Common questions

Is Dear Agent safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.2.3) reached the registry 4 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Dear Agent

Your AI agent keeps your diary for you. You never open an app or write a word.

You already talk to an AI agent all day. Dear Agent lets that agent quietly keep your personal life journal — filing what you tell it, the photos you send, and the voice notes you record, neatly by date. No app to open. No blank page to face. No habit to build. You just live your life and mention what matters; your agent does the writing.

It is a single, local-first MCP server plus a skill, so it drops into any agent that speaks MCP: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, and more.

Why it is different

You do not write it. Your agent does. Every other journal — Day One, Obsidian, Notion, a paper notebook — needs *you* to open it and type. Dear Agent flips that: you talk, it records.
Cross-agent. One diary, readable and writable by whatever agent you use.
Text, photos, and voice. Send a picture or a voice note and it is filed under that day.
Local-first and yours. Plain markdown on your own disk. No account, no cloud, no lock-in. Delete the folder and it is gone.
It remembers with you. "On this day" resurfaces past entries; a weekly digest lets your agent write you a short reflection.

Install

npm install -g dear-agent

Or run it straight from npx (no install):

npx dear-agent

Claude Code / Claude Desktop

claude mcp add dear-agent -- npx -y dear-agent

Or add to your MCP config:

"mcpServers": { "dear-agent": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "dear-agent"] } } }

Cursor / OpenClaw / other MCP clients

Point the client at the dear-agent command (stdio transport). Set DEAR_AGENT_DIR if you want the diary somewhere other than ~/.dear-agent.

Then drop SKILL.md into your agent's skills so it knows to keep your diary proactively.

How you use it

You never call tools yourself. You just talk to your agent:

"Remember that I closed the apartment lease today, felt huge relief."

"Save this photo for today — first dinner in the new place." *(send the photo)*

"What was I doing a year ago today?"

"Give me a recap of this week."

Your agent calls the right tool and keeps the diary current.

It remembers you, and it talks back

Dear Agent is not just storage. Two capabilities turn it into a living memory of your life:

`recall` — your agent can ask the diary *"what do you know about this person — their people, patterns, open commitments?"* and get a synthesized portrait. Your agent finally remembers your life, so every conversation is grounded in who you actually are.
`reflect` — a proactive loop that surfaces patterns, progress, open loops, and *on this day* memories, so your diary reflects your life back to you instead of sitting in a folder.

Obsidian stores your notes. Dear Agent remembers your life and talks back. And because it never leaves your machine, it's the one place you can be completely honest.

Works with any agent, harness, or interface

Interface	How
MCP tools	11 tools (below) over stdio.
MCP prompts	`daily_checkin`, `weekly_reflection` — surface as slash-commands.
MCP resources	`diary://today`, `diary://index`.
Skill	`SKILL.md` for skill-based harnesses (Claude Code, OpenClaw).
CLI	`dear-agent add "..."`, `recall`, `reflect`, … — for any agent that can run a shell.

CLI examples:

dear-agent add "Closed the interview, felt good." --mood hopeful --tags job,win

dear-agent recall Sarah dear-agent reflect week dear-agent on-this-day

Contributing

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Dear Agent is intentionally small and dependency-light — keep changes focused, keep storage as plain files the user owns, and keep everything local-first and private. See ROADMAP.md for where it is headed.
