Your notes stay plain markdown that you and your AI assistants both read and write. Pairs with the Engram Obsidian Sync plugin to sync your whole vault.

Connect

Nothing to install. Point any MCP client at the hosted server and sign in when prompted (OAuth):

https://mcp.engram.page

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http engram https://mcp.engram.page
Claude.ai / ChatGPT: add a custom connector with the URL above.
Cursor: {"mcpServers": {"engram": {"url": "https://mcp.engram.page"}}} in ~/.cursor/mcp.json
VS Code: {"servers": {"engram": {"type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.engram.page"}}} in .vscode/mcp.json

More clients: MCP docs.

Self-Host (Docker Compose)

Don't want to run the commands yourself? Open the Quickstart docs, select the whole page, and paste it into your AI assistant — it's written top-to-bottom as imperatives the AI can execute in order.

Otherwise:

git clone https://github.com/engram-app/Engram.git
cd Engram
cp .env.example .env       # then fill in the three secrets at the top
docker compose up -d

App at http://localhost:4000. Migrations run on boot. Only port 4000 is host-exposed; everything else stays on the private Docker network.

Large vaults? Enable MinIO for S3-style attachments: docker compose --profile s3 up -d — see storage docs.

Better embeddings? Switch to Voyage AI in .env — see embeddings docs.
