Open-source, self-hosted long-term memory server that lets Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agent CLIs share context and hand off sessions.

Cross-Agent Handoffs: Typed, claim-once handoffs let you continue a session in a different agent CLI.
Automatic Capture: Lifecycle hooks record prompts, tool calls and session boundaries, sanitized before storage.
Markdown Wiki Storage: Git-backed wiki of .md files is the source of truth, with a rebuildable derived database index.
Multi-Mode Search: Full-text, entity and graph search plus optional vector search.
Team Sharing: Per-project knowledge sharing with multi-user auth, per-person attribution and an audit log.
Self-Hosted Single Binary: Rust binary or Docker server running on your laptop, homelab or LAN host.
Zero-LLM Default: Capture and search work without an LLM API key.
Broad Agent Support: Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Kiro CLI, Grok Build CLI and more.

A developer starts a feature in Claude Code and continues it in Codex without re-explaining the project.
A team shares project knowledge across members' coding agents with an audit trail.
An engineer keeps memory on a homelab server so every laptop and agent sees the same context.
A privacy-focused user runs fully local memory capture with no LLM calls or cloud service.
A maintainer browses and edits agent memories as plain markdown in a git repository.
A developer onboards a new agent CLI to an existing project through MCP install commands.

Turn any website or legacy portal into a deterministic hosted API or MCP server for your agents, faster than browser use.

Website to API/MCP: Describe a task on a site and Pomerado builds, hosts and maintains a deterministic API or MCP tool for it.
Deterministic Execution: Integrations are built once and tested, then run the same way every time instead of re-reasoning through pages.
Legacy Portal Support: Works with prior auth portals, EMRs, ERPs, CRMs, government filings and vendor portals with no existing API.
Build from Your Coding Agent: Use Codex, Claude or Cursor to create integrations through tools like find_website_tool and build_website_tool.
Login and 2FA Handling: Signs in with saved logins and handles 2FA codes while building the integration.
Keyless MCP Trial: Add the MCP server to Claude Code or Codex with one command and try it without an account.
Maintenance: Hosted integrations are maintained so tools keep working as sites change.

Invoice Retrieval: List supplier-portal invoices by status and date range for finance agents.
Travel and Shopping Comparison: Compare products or flights across sites faster than browser agents.
Healthcare Operations: Automate prior authorization and payer portal checks.
Internal Tool Access: Expose CRMs and admin apps to internal agents as MCP tools.
Personal Assistants: Give your own agent reliable tools for bookings, orders and bills.
