AI Integrations

Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants connect to your vault over OAuth — each connection is a deliberate grant you can revoke any time. They all use MCP — the Model Context Protocol — under the hood. Pick your client below; the setup is the same shape across all of them.

What you get

Semantic + full-text search across your whole vault from inside the AI client
Read individual notes — Claude can pull a note and reason over its contents
Draft and edit notes directly into your vault (when you grant write scopes)
Folder operations — list, create, reorganize
OAuth-authorized — explicit grant per client, revocable any time from your Engram account; granular per-action scopes are on the roadmap
OAuth out of the box — sign-in flow, nothing to copy-paste
Or use an API key — for headless / programmatic access and unique vault-sharing setups

Pick your client
