01 · Install Graphiti Local

before you install - you'll need

Set GRAPHITI_LOCAL_CONFIG, KG_WORKSPACE_DIR, KG_LADYBUG_PATH before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add renezander030-graphiti-local -- uvx graphiti-local

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "renezander030-graphiti-local": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "graphiti-local"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key
