Basic Memory
Persistent local Markdown-based memory so your AI assistant remembers across sessions.
Basic Memory
Basic Memory is an open-source Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants persistent, local, human-readable memory so you never have to re-explain your project.
Conversations and knowledge are captured as Markdown notes on your own filesystem, forming a connected knowledge base that the assistant can read and write across sessions and tools (Claude, Cursor, and others). Because the notes are plain Markdown, they stay editable and portable outside the AI as well.
It is aimed at people who want durable, ownable long-term memory and knowledge management for their AI workflows.
Only compromise signals — malicious or tampered code (leaked secrets, backdoors, a dropped executable) — reduce the score. Dangerous-by-capability traits are risk surface, expected for some capabilities. Every finding is mapped to the OWASP control it belongs to below.
Findings mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025) and the OWASP Machine Learning Security Top 10. Expand any flagged control for the exact findings — compromise reduces the score; expected/risk-surface do not.
