Setup
Install EleSync in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/darknodebros/EleSync
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
EleSync gives you a private workspace that your AI tools can share.
When every AI assistant keeps a separate history, you repeat the same background, preferences, decisions, and project details over and over. EleSync keeps the durable context you choose in a local vault, then lets approved assistants use that context with explicit project and scope boundaries.
Start a project with one assistant, continue it with another, and keep the context in a folder you control.
Your local vault ↓ Memories and imported history ↓ Projects, knowledge, tasks, decisions, and handoffs ↓ Approved AI assistants
No EleSync account, hosted cloud database, e-mail registration, telemetry, subscription, or mandatory cloud sync is required.
A new user should be able to go from installation to a useful AI workspace like this:
- Choose a vault.Pick the local folder where EleSync will keep your workspace.
- Protect access.Add a local dashboard username and password when you need remote or shared-device access.
- Import AI history.Bring in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, WhatsApp, or other supported exports and review what will become durable context.
- Create a project.Give your memories a purpose and a boundary.
- Connect an assistant.Connect Claude Desktop locally, or use a secure HTTPS/OAuth flow for a remote assistant such as ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok.
- Test recall.Ask your assistant:What useful context can you retrieve from EleSync?
The dashboard includes a guided first-launch wizard and progress tracking for these steps.
- Memory:gives assistants continuity across conversations and providers.
- Projects:give context purpose, organization, and boundaries.
- Knowledge:stores reusable knowledge sheets, tasks, decisions, and handoffs.
- MCP/connectors:let approved AI assistants participate in the workspace.
- Imports:bring existing AI history, documents, and WhatsApp conversations into one place.
- PWA/mobile:capture and access the workspace from a phone while your computer runs EleSync.
- Privacy:keeps the vault local-first and makes sharing explicit.
The dashboard is the center of the workspace: memories, projects, imports, connection health, and mobile access are all reached from one place.
- Local-first:notes and the search index live in the vault on your computer.
- User-controlled:you choose the vault folder, backups, and what becomes durable.
- No mandatory cloud account:normal local use works without an EleSync cloud service.
- Optional encryption:encrypted vaults use Argon2id and XSalsa20-Poly1305 at rest; plaintext remains the default for portability.
- Scoped AI access:client grants can limit which memory scopes an assistant can read or write.
- Project isolation:project-bound connections cannot recall or modify memories outside their project.
- Reviewable imports:imported conversations and WhatsApp messages can be reviewed before saving.
Important: when you connect an AI assistant, that assistant may read the context you make available to it. Use project boundaries, scopes, read-only permissions, and separate vaults when you need stronger limits.
Download the latest Windows installer, run it, and open EleSync when installation finishes.
The installer asks where to keep the vault and visibly lists the AI assistants available fromConnect AIafter installation:
ChatGPT · Claude · Gemini · Grok · Perplexity · Copilot · DeepSeek
Claude Desktop is the optional local connection that can be pre-wired during installation. Remote assistants require your authorization and a secure HTTPS connection, so the installer does not silently configure them.
scoop install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/darknodebros/EleSync/master/elesync.json
For macOS, Linux, or users who prefer Python tooling:
Requires Python 3.10 or newer. You can also usepip install elesync.
Standalone Windows, macOS, and Linux builds are attached to eachGitHub release.
- OpenImport.
- Choose a supported file or drop it into the import area.
- Review the detected format and privacy information.
- For WhatsApp, filter by sender and approve only the messages you want to keep.
- Save the full conversation or selected durable memories.
- OpenMemoriesto search what was imported.
JSON · CSV · TXT · Markdown · ZIP · WhatsApp exports · Grok exports
Imports are local. Nothing becomes durable project knowledge until the user saves or approves it.
OpenProjects, create a project, and give it a short purpose such as:
Japan trip planning Product launch Biology assignment EleSync workspace
- Add existing memories
- Save knowledge sheets
- Track tasks
- Record decisions
- Leave AI handoffs
- Set AI read/write/conversation permissions
- Generate a project-specific local Claude connection
Claude Desktop: local project connection
From a project page, choose the Claude provider and selectGenerate project connection. EleSync creates a command like:
ele --vault "D:\notes" onboard --target claude-desktop --project PROJECT_ID --name elesync-project-a1b2c3d4
Run the command, restart Claude Desktop, and use the entry named:
This entry is project-bound. Memories saved through it are attached to the selected project. It can coexist with a generalelesyncentry; remove or disable the general entry when you need strict project-only visibility.
ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, and other remote assistants
Remote assistants require a public HTTPS origin and provider authorization. Use theConnect AIpage to generate the current setup instructions. EleSync will show:
- MCP server URL
- Secure authentication details
- Local server command
- Tunnel/reverse-proxy target
- Connection verification result
Do not use127.0.0.1, a private LAN address, or the dashboard port as a public provider URL.
EleSync can be installed on a phone without a separate mobile app:
- Start EleSync on your computer withele web.
- OpenUse on another devicein the dashboard.
- Put your phone and computer on the same Wi-Fi network.
- Open the displayed address on your phone.
- ChooseAdd to Home ScreenorInstall app.
The computer must be running for live vault access. The PWA supports shared text and link capture, encrypted offline drafts, automatic retry, and mobile imports. Do not expose the dashboard publicly without HTTPS and a passcode.
ele web # open the local dashboard ele doctor # check installation health ele import memories.json # import exported memories or notes echo "I prefer dark mode" | ele import - ele remember "Prefer short answers with examples" ele recall "how should my AI answer me?" ele sync # rebuild the local search index ele summary # show a vault summary
Advanced commands cover encryption, backups, USB vaults, scopes, conflict resolution, HTTP serving, and client wiring. SeeSETUP.mdfor the full walkthrough.
- If the dashboard does not open, runele weband copy the error.
- If an AI assistant cannot see memories, restart it after setup.
- If search looks stale, runele sync.
- If an import looks wrong, keep the original export and check its source format.
- If a remote connector is rejected, verify HTTPS, the public/mcpURL, the tunnel target, and the authentication state in Connection Health.

EleSync is at1.23.77(828 tests, ~12,500 LOC). The current product focus is stabilization: bug fixing, UX polish, documentation, first-run completion, privacy clarity, and reliability.
Atlaso is a memory layer for AI tools — connect once and it automatically recalls the context that matters across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and every AI tool you use.
Cross-vendor AI memory over MCP. One semantic memory store, readable and writeable from every MCP client — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, Kimi.
Generate random word pairs for the Imposter party game directly via Claude or Cursor. Let AI host your next social deduction game!
Shared company context and governed tools for ChatGPT, Claude, Codex and other MCP clients.

Persistent AI memory shared across Claude, ChatGPT, coding agents, and compatible MCP clients.
Persistent project context for AI coding agents: captures decisions, rationale, and rejected paths so agents stay consistent across Claude, Cursor, Codex, and any MCP enabled platform.
Private persistent memory for Claude, ChatGPT & Gemini via MCP — semantic search, zero-code setup.
Turn LinkedIn saved posts into a queryable knowledge base you can search, chat with, and connect to Claude or ChatGPT through MCP.
