The first public release of Norn: persistent, visible, local-first memory for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client).
Highlights
- MCP server with four tools:
remember,recall,forget,list. - Genuinely semantic recall via a fully local embedding model (all-MiniLM-L6-v2, Transformers.js). No API key; runs offline after a one-time model download.
- Local SQLite + sqlite-vec store at
~/.norn/norn.db, shared by the MCP server, the CLI, and the dashboard. - Dashboard (Next.js) to browse by project, search, and forget memories, with undo.
- Marketing landing page, deployable to Vercel.
Install
Clone, npm install, build core + server, then add it to Claude Code:
claude mcp add norn -- node "$(pwd)/server/dist/index.js"
See the README for full instructions and the MCP-client config.
