Local-first, source-grounded memory that survives AI agent sessions.
Talamus MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Talamus directly instead of describing what you should do. Local-first, source-grounded memory that survives AI agent sessions.
Talamus keeps the decisions, evidence, and corrections worth remembering as ordinary Markdown, then gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and any MCP agent cited recall in the next session.
Once Talamus is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
corpus — metricBeing a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.
Among the knowledge and memory options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Talamus's toolset — corpus — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by ampres-ai; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
