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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "localkeep": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "localkeep"
      ],

        "LOCALKEEP_DATA_DIR": "your-value",
        "LOCALKEEP_DB_PATH": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add localkeep --env LOCALKEEP_DATA_DIR=your-value --env LOCALKEEP_DB_PATH=your-value -- uvx localkeep

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": {
    "localkeep": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "localkeep"
      ],

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": {

  }
}

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 one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

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

Values you fill in

LOCALKEEP_DATA_DIR env
Optional directory for the SQLite DB (default: ~/.localkeep)

Common questions

Is LocalKeep 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 (0.1.3) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

LocalKeep

LocalKeep is for anyone who wants a chronological memory layer for chatbots where *they* directly control *what* the model remembers about them. Instead of forcing you to rely on a black-box cloud memory that the model invents around you that you can't even edit, LocalKeep lets you curate titled, dated, editable memory banks directly on your own machine where you write the entries and manage them locally via a localhost Hub UI. When a conversation requires your prior context, Claude queries your local data through a secure, native Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector.

Why use LocalKeep

AI Chat apps are great at *sounding* like they remember you, but struggle at recalling the exact thing you care about — *what* happened, on *which* date, about *whom*? Consumer memory features tend to lack the capacity for true temporal reasoning, flattening your history into a soft, generic vibe summary instead of understanding that Event A triggered Event B three months ago, causing its reasoning to fail when you need something specific: a life event, a research arc, a decision you logged months ago. Worse yet, consumer AI memory is a black box: you don't get to decide what the model chooses to remember about you, how it interprets your life, or when it invents context around you.

LocalKeep fixes both structural flaws at once by replacing fragile, model-invented timelines with a rigid, chronological source of your truth, all while giving *you* absolute editorial control. You decide exactly *what* the AI is allowed to know about you. You write the entries, you anchor the dates, and you keep them local on your own machine. Claude simply acts as the lookup engine via MCP when a conversation requires your prior context. LocalKeep bridges the gap between structured personal logging and intelligent AI retrieval, ensuring your context is curated by you—not hallucinated by an LLM.

Who it’s for

Anyone frustrated that chat memory can’t reliably fetch dated facts or understand timelines
People who already maintain meticulous personal diaries, work logs, or research archives. Instead of settling for a generic chat-app paraphrase, you get to inject your *exact* words and historical data into the prompt as an unyielding source of truth.
Users who trust Claude for its reasoning capability, but demand that their foundational context database remains stored locally under their own roof. (Note: Querying memories via MCP still sends the *retrieved text fragments* to Anthropic during the session).

What it is (and isn’t)

Is: A lightweight customizable local Hub UI to manage your dated memory banks, paired with an MCP server that Claude Desktop can call.
Isn’t: A standalone chat application, a cloud-hosted memory API, or a background utility that silently scrapes your personal conversations.

The Aesthetic Philosophy

The Hub UI intentionally adopts a retro, Windows 95/MS Paint-inspired homage with customizable features to ensure LocalKeep feels like a deeply personal tool rather than an impersonal, rigid dashboard. By putting adjustable interface elements right at your fingertips, the UI signals that you are entering an intimate, offline workshop for your mind—a space you can shape and reconfigure to feel entirely like your own.

Install

pip install localkeep

or: uv tool install localkeep

Then:

localkeep-hub          # http://127.0.0.1:8000

In Claude Desktop, register the MCP server (claude_desktop_config.json):

"mcpServers": { "localkeep": { "command": "localkeep-mcp", "args": [] } } }

If the GUI can’t find localkeep-mcp on your PATH, use the absolute path from which localkeep-mcp (the Hub’s Connect panel copies this for you).

Memories default to ~/.localkeep/localkeep.db when installed via pip. Override with LOCALKEEP_DATA_DIR or LOCALKEEP_DB_PATH.

Auto-use LocalKeep (important)

Claude will not reliably call MCP tools unless you also set Personal preferences:

Claude Desktop → Settings → Profile → Personal preferences
Paste the LocalKeep instructions (Hub → Connect → Copy instructions, or see src/localkeep/assets/claude-personal-preferences.txt)
Quit Claude completely and reopen
When LocalKeep asks to run a tool, click Always approve

Develop from source

git clone https://github.com/zuneracodes/localkeep

cd localkeep uv sync --group dev uv run localkeep-hub # http://127.0.0.1:8000

optional live reload:

LOCALKEEP_HUB_RELOAD=1 uv run localkeep-hub

From a source checkout, the DB lives in data/localkeep.db (gitignored).

Tests

These smoke-check the Hub, retrieval, and MCP tools so a fresh install still stores and recalls dated memories the way a real user would.

uv sync --group dev

uv run pytest

Tests start from an empty DB and create memories through Hub form POSTs (same path as a new user).

Privacy

Storage is local. Banks and memories live in your chosen DB path (~/.localkeep/ for pip installs, or data/localkeep.db in a checkout). There is no LocalKeep cloud and nothing is auto-scraped from chat. Theme colors stay in browser localStorage. Refreshing the Hub page or restarting localkeep-hub does not delete your banks — only removing the database file does.

Recall goes through Claude. The Hub and database stay on your machine, but when Claude calls a LocalKeep MCP tool, the matching memories are returned into that chat and Anthropic processes them like any other tool result. LocalKeep isn’t shipping your whole DB upstream — only what that lookup returns for the question at hand.
