Questions

What is the cogvault MCP server?

Local hybrid-search memory for AI agents over plain Markdown. Multi-tenant, offline, no LLM. It is made by @NBibikov and listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.NBibikov/cogvault. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard that lets AI apps like Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor use outside tools.

How do I add cogvault to Claude?

In Claude Code, run: claude mcp add cogvault -- uvx cogvault==0.12.2

How do I add cogvault to ChatGPT?

ChatGPT only connects to remote MCP servers, and cogvault runs on your own computer. Use it from Claude, Cursor or another app that runs local servers.

How do I add cogvault to Cursor?

Open Cursor settings, go to MCP, choose "Add new MCP server" (or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json) and add: { "mcpServers": { "cogvault": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "cogvault==0.12.2" ] } } }

Does cogvault work right now?

It runs on your own computer, so it works once you install it. There is no remote server for us to check.
