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.

Note

Some clients below can authenticate with an API key in a header instead of OAuth. API keys require Pro. OAuth works on every tier, including Free, so prefer it unless your client cannot do the browser flow.

Caution

Today Engram grants connectors a single mcp scope, which means full tool access against your vault, including write and delete. Only connect agents you trust to act on your notes. Granular per-action scopes are on the roadmap.

What you get

• Semantic + full-text search across your whole vault from inside the AI client
• Read individual notes so 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 with 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
