README
Memex for Model Context Protocol
Memex is a tool for Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows you to analyze web content and add it to your knowledge base.
The tool was inspired by the Memex project by Vannevar Bush.
Requirements
You will need API keys for the following services:
The knowledge base produced by this tool is stored as Markdown files so they can be viewed with any Markdown viewer but Obsidian is recommended.
Installation
pip install mcp-memex
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json and replace the placeholders with the actual paths and API keys:
{
"mcpServers": {
"memex": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"PATH_TO_LOCAL_MEMEX_REPO",
"run",
"mcp-memex",
"--index",
"PATH_TO_MEMEX_INDEX",
"--workspace",
"PATH_TO_OBSIDIAN_VAULT"
],
"env": {

}
}
}
}
Usage
Start by asking Claude a question with a list of URLs to reference.
What is the capital of France? "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France"
Once Claude has finished analyzing the content, you will see the results in your Obsidian vault. You can then ask questions about the content and Memex will use the knowledge base to answer your questions.
