# linksee-memory

> Local-first memory MCP for AI coding agents. One local SQLite file gives Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and ChatGPT Desktop a shared, persistent memory — a 6-layer WHY structure, diff-only file cache, active forgetting, and decision-drift detection. Free and open source. Install with `npx -y linksee-memory`.

## Install
- Quickstart (Claude Code): `claude mcp add -s user linksee -- npx -y linksee-memory`
- npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/linksee-memory
- GitHub (OSS): https://github.com/michielinksee/linksee-memory

## What it solves
- Cross-session amnesia: agents forget everything between sessions; linksee-memory persists context locally so the next session starts informed.
- Cross-agent memory: the same memory is shared across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, and ChatGPT Desktop — declare a fact once, recall it anywhere.
- Decision drift: declared decisions are checked against committed reality and flagged when the work silently diverges from what was agreed.
