Description from the maker (original English)

Personal AI memory — gives every AI agent shared, persistent memory of you

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Search & AI memory
You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Runs in the cloudNothing to install; it connects over the internet

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http epitome https://epitome.fyi/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "epitome": {
      "url": "https://epitome.fyi/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "epitome": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://epitome.fyi/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Common questions

Is Epitome 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Context7, Codebase Memory, Exa

Epitome

One memory layer, every AI agent.

The portable identity layer that gives every AI agent a shared, persistent memory of you.

Open source. Self-hostable. Yours.

Website · Quickstart · Connect an Agent · Docs · Contributing

The Problem

Every AI conversation starts from zero. You repeat yourself to every agent — your name, your preferences, your allergies, your tech stack. Chat history is siloed per app. There's no portable memory layer.

Epitome fixes this. One database that every AI agent shares, so they all remember you.

Quickstart

Hosted (fastest)

Sign up at epitome.fyi
Go to Settings → API Keys and copy your MCP URL
Connect an AI agent — done

Self-Hosted

git clone https://github.com/gunning4it/epitome.git

cd epitome cp .env.example .env # edit with your credentials docker compose up -d

Open localhost:5173 and sign in with Google or GitHub OAuth.

Connect an AI Agent

Get your API key from Settings → API Keys in the dashboard (hosted or self-hosted).

Claude Desktop

Add to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": { "epitome": { "url": "https://epitome.fyi/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" } } } }

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" epitome https://epitome.fyi/mcp

Self-Hosted

For self-hosted, replace https://epitome.fyi with http://localhost:3000.

Epitome exposes 3 MCP tools — recall, memorize, and review. See the full tool reference.

Who This Is For

AI developers building agents that need persistent user memory
Power users who want every AI to remember them across platforms
Self-hosters who want full data ownership — no cloud required

Use Cases

Your meal-tracking agent remembers your allergies
Your coding assistant knows your stack, your patterns, your team
Your calendar agent knows your family, your priorities, your routines
Every new AI tool you try already knows you on day one

The Five Layers

#	Layer	Description
01	Personal Database	Structured tables, vector semantic memory, and key-value storage. Your data lives in PostgreSQL — queryable, exportable, yours.
02	Portable Identity	A structured profile any AI agent reads instantly. Name, preferences, relationships — zero cold start, every conversation.
03	Memory Quality	Confidence scoring, source attribution, and lifecycle management. Memories earn trust through reinforcement, not blind faith.
04	Knowledge Graph	Entities with typed, weighted edges. People, places, concepts — connected in a graph that grows with every interaction.
05	Consent & Audit	Per-table permissions and an append-only activity log. You control exactly what each agent can see and do.

Architecture

AI Agent ──→ MCP (Streamable HTTP) ──→ Hono API ──→ PostgreSQL

│ per-user schema isolation

Each user gets their own PostgreSQL schema (user_{id}) — not row-level security, full schema-level isolation. Cross-schema access is impossible at the SQL level.

See EPITOME_TECH_SPEC.md for the full architecture.

Security & Privacy

You own your data — self-host or use the hosted service
Per-user PostgreSQL schema isolation — not row-level security, full schema separation
Per-agent consent rules — you control what each agent can read and write
Append-only audit log — every access is recorded
GDPR-ready — export or delete all your data at any time
