Geniuz
@jackccrawford
Open-source MCP server that gives Claude persistent memory. Your AI keeps your standards, decisions, and reasons across sessions. Recalled by meaning, not keywords. Runs fully local: on-device semantic search, no cloud, no API keys. macOS, Windows, Linux. MIT.
Overview
Geniuz — persistent memory for Claude
Normally every conversation with Claude starts from zero — you re-teach your context, preferences, and decisions each time. Geniuz keeps them: the standards you set, the calls you made, and the reasons behind them, recalled by meaning across sessions and compactions.
It runs entirely on your own machine — semantic search via a bundled ONNX model, no cloud, no account, no API keys — and plugs into Claude Desktop through Anthropic's MCP standard on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
Three tools
- remember — save what matters with a semantic gist
- recall — search by meaning, not keywords
- recent — pick up where you left off
Install
One command wires it into Claude Desktop: geniuz mcp install Download the app from https://geniuz.life or the GitHub releases. Free and MIT-licensed. Built by mVara.
