Bring your own agent

Use Jackdaw as the memory for any MCP-capable agent.

Any agent that speaks MCP — inside Claude.ai, Claude Code, Cursor, or one you build yourself — can use Jackdaw as its long-term memory. It reads your context at the start of a run and proposes what it learns back to you.

Connect over MCP

Point your agent at Jackdaw's MCP server and it gains two capabilities:

  • Read — call get_context to ground itself in your current projects, decisions, and constraints before doing anything.
  • Propose — call remember to stage a structured fact, or propose_action for a supported action. Those land in your inbox for approval. An agent cannot generate or edit your wiki's prose.

Setup and the full tool list are in Connect via MCP.

In Claude Code

Claude Code can also pull your context into every prompt through Jackdaw's hook — see Claude Code Hook.

A worked example

Long-running agents that stay on course walks through backing a multi-day agent with Jackdaw so it resumes exactly where it left off, without drift.
