Monet

Memory should change what your agent does.

Monet is local-first memory for coding agents, built for one thing: the outcome you meant. It keeps what you and your team actually want — principles, rules, corrections — and delivers it while the agent works: principles always in front of it, rules read at the moment they bind (commit, release, delegate, PR), corrections recorded so they never need making twice. MCP-native, 100% on your machine.

Get started — let your agent set it up

Paste this one line into Claude Code (more agents coming soon):

Set up Monet for all my projects: read https://raw.githubusercontent.com/team-monet/monet/main/harness/bootstrap/install.md and follow it, checking with me at each step.

Your agent installs Monet, wires up the MCP server, and brings the working method — restore state at session start, read the rules when moments arrive, record what you correct. That's the with-monet harness in harness/, and it's the recommended path.

Prefer to wire it yourself? The package is on npm:

npx @team-monet/monet

Related MCP server: mcp-chest-memory

Yours — and verifiably so

• One store at ~/.monet — plain SQLite you can read, back up, export.

• Embeddings run on-device. No accounts, no API keys, no cloud.

• Works offline after the first model download.

Where to go

⭐ If Monet helps, star the repo — it's the best way to support the project.
