AI identity layer for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor — stores who you are, not just what you did. Local-first, MCP-compatible.

piia-engram is a local-first AI identity layer that stores your profile, preferences, lessons learned, and key decisions as local JSON files. It exposes them through the MCP protocol so that all compatible AI tools (like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor) read the same identity, eliminating the need to re-explain yourself across sessions, tool switches, or updates.

    Identity-focused storage differs from task memory — it's about the developer, not the code.

    AI identity layer storing who you are, not just what you asked — persona persistence.

    Good for developers who want their AI to maintain a consistent understanding of them.
