Basic Memory

Give Claude Code a Memory

Your AI remembers your codebase, decisions, and context across every session.

Every session starts from zero

Without memory, Claude Code forgets everything between sessions.

  • You re-explain your project architecture at the start of every session.
  • Decisions you made last week are lost — Claude asks the same questions again.
  • CLAUDE.md helps, but it's manual and limited. Your real context is scattered.
  • You lose hours of productive momentum just getting Claude back up to speed.

Basic Memory changes that

Give Claude Code a persistent, searchable knowledge base it can read and write to.

Persistent context

Claude Code reads and writes to a knowledge base that carries over between sessions. Architecture decisions, coding patterns, and project context are always available.

Searchable knowledge

Every conversation builds a searchable knowledge graph. Claude can find relevant context from weeks or months ago in milliseconds.

Plain text you own

Everything is stored as Markdown files on your machine. Read them, edit them, version them with git. No lock-in, no cloud dependency.

Native MCP integration

Basic Memory uses the Model Context Protocol — the same standard Claude Code is built on. No wrappers, no hacks, just a clean native connection.

What users are saying

Basic Memory changed my whole relationship with LLMs... I switched from GPT and Gemini to exclusively Claude and Claude Code because of this integration and am completely revamping all our companies processes around a basic memory workflow now.

Basic memory is the missing 'wow' factor in AI chatbots—now I can't imagine Claude or Claude Code without it.
