Local Keep MCP Server

LocalKeep is for anyone who wants a chronological memory layer for chatbots where they directly control what the model remembers about them. Instead of forcing you to rely on a black-box cloud memory that the model invents around you that you can't even edit, LocalKeep lets you curate titled, dated, editable memory banks directly on your own machine where you write the entries and manage them locally via a localhost…

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-17 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

pypi package localkeep - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.zuneracodes is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
