### Description (declared)

# persistent-kb-mcp

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any MCP-capable AI agent a **persistent, searchable knowledge base** stored locally in a single SQLite file. Survives session restarts, context compaction, and machine reboots.

## What it does

Exposes 5 MCP tools for interacting with a local SQLite knowledge base:

| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `kb_add` | Save a fact, lesson, decision, or reference (with title, kind, tags) |
| `kb_search` | Full-text search via SQLite FTS5 |
| `kb_show` | Fetch a single entry's full content + metadata |
| `kb_list` | Browse entries, filter by kind / tag / date |
| `kb_tag` | Add or remove tags on an existing entry |

Storage default: `~/.persistent-kb/kb.sqlite` (override via `KB_DB`).

## Why

AI coding agents lose everything between sessions. This server lets your agent **save and recall** facts across sessions — without sending data to a cloud service.

## Install

Requires Python 3.10+.

```bash
pip install canola-persistent-kb-mcp
```

Or from source:

```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/0x67108864/persistent-kb-mcp.git
```

## Configure your agent

### Claude Code

Add to your `~/.claude/mcp.json` (or the project-local equivalent):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "persistent-kb": {
      "command": "persistent-kb-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Code and the 5 `kb_*` tools become available.

### Codex CLI / Cursor / other MCP-capable runtimes

Each runtime has its own way of registering MCP servers; the `command` is always `persistent-kb-mcp`. Refer to your runtime's MCP configuration documentation.

## Quickstart

Once configured, try these in your agent:

```
"Remember that Stripe's standard payout schedule in Japan is 7 days, 
domestic card fee is 3.6% + ¥40."
→ agent calls kb_add(title=..., ki…
