NeuraKeep

NeuraKeep is a local-first memory system for AI agents.

It gives Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw, Cursor-style tools, and other MCP clients a shared, source-cited memory layer that runs on your own machine.

What It Does

• Imports Markdown, text, JSONL, and PDFs into a local vault

• Preserves raw sources and extracts cited memory proposals

• Lets you review memory before it becomes durable

• Searches across sources, facts, events, failures, and decisions

• Shows a graph of related memory with progressive expansion

• Exposes MCP tools for agents:

  • memory_search

  • memory_read

  • memory_explain_sources

  • memory_propose_update

  • memory_apply_update

The core rule is simple: agents can propose memory, but durable memory should be reviewable and source-cited.

Local Install

Requirements:

• Node.js 20+

• npm

npm install
npm run build:all
node dist/cli/index.js init --root .umos
node dist/cli/index.js serve --root .umos --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765 --ui --read-write

Open:

http://127.0.0.1:8765/index.html

Start Free Locally

Use the local core when you want private, source-cited memory on your own machine:

• import Markdown, text, JSONL, or PDFs

• review extraction proposals before durable memory is applied

• connect Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, or another MCP client over stdio

Hosted NeuraKeep

Use the hosted app when you need Google or enterprise SAML/OIDC sign-in, private personal vaults, isolated shared Team spaces, remote MCP over HTTPS, managed storage, backups, and Stripe-managed billing. Team workspaces include owner/admin/reviewer/editor/viewer roles, email-bound invitations, audit history, licensed seats, and SCIM provisioning. Hosted access requires an active individual or Team subscription; space-bound service tokens remain available for controlled MCP clients.

The public package contains the complete local-first core. Managed authentication, Stripe billing, Team tenancy, SSO, SCIM, deployment automation, and production credentials remain part of the hosted service and are not required to run NeuraKeep locally.

CLI Examples

node dist/cli/index.js ingest README.md --root .umos --kind markdown --space personal --trust-level trusted --origin manual --sensitivity internal
node dist/cli/index.js search "what should my agents remember?" --root .umos --space personal --neighbors 1
node dist/cli/index.js propose latest --root .umos
node dist/cli/index.js apply <proposal-id> --root .umos
node dist/cli/index.js mcp --root .umos

Local MCP Setup

Example stdio MCP config:

{
  "command": "node",
  "args": [
    "C:/path/to/neurakeep/dist/cli/index.js",
    "mcp",
    "--root",
    "C:/path/to/neurakeep/.umos"
  ]
}

Local HTTP mode:

node dist/cli/index.js serve --root .umos --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8765 --ui

Use --token or NEURAKEEP_MCP_TOKEN before exposing any HTTP endpoint outside your machine.

Free vs Paid

The open-source version is for local, self-managed memory. The hosted product adds managed auth, team spaces, remote connectors, shared storage, backups, and administration. See NeuraKeep pricing for the current hosted plans.
