Your second brain, starting today. CLI + MCP server that helps you build, maintain, and search a knowledge vault that gets better every day. Works with any AI provider. Local-first, zero-prereq install.

NeuroStack is a self-hosted MCP server and CLI that indexes Markdown vaults by meaning, providing AI agents with persistent memory across sessions. It detects stale notes, supports semantic and keyword search, and uses tiered retrieval to minimize token usage. Fully local, it never modifies your files.
