Your AI has memory.

Just not the kind that carries context.

Why Parachute Exists

  • Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini — each one learns you in isolation
  • Context disappears between sessions and platforms
  • Memory isn’t structured around you and your work

Parachute Vault alpha

A shared knowledge graph — the substrate underneath every tool you use to think.

Notes for capture. Obsidian for editing. Claude Code for thinking. Git for audit. Your own dashboards for your team.

One source of truth, read and written by everything you use, over MCP — or as a directory of markdown files when you want it that way.

Get started

bun add -g @openparachute/hub parachute init

Requires Bun 1.3+. parachute init brings up your hub and drops you into the setup wizard — in your browser by default — to create your admin account and first vault. Same flow on a laptop, a server, or a hosted deploy. More clients via MCP — claude.ai, ChatGPT, your own — on the roadmap.

How Vault Works

How Vault connects your AIs

Install the Vault. Claude Code picks it up automatically on your next session.

Ask Claude to write a note, query your graph, trace connections. Memory persists across sessions.

Any other local MCP client — Codex, Goose, OpenCode, Cursor, Zed, Cline, your own agent — connects to the same endpoint. claude.ai, ChatGPT, and Gemini arrive next.

The graph compounds over time

Links form. Tags build. Notes connect.

As your AIs read and write, context gets richer — organized by project, linked by topic, queryable as a whole.

Stored locally as a SQLite file. Yours, portable, durable.

Simple primitives, open surface area

Everything flows through a small MCP tool set. Your AI calls these; your own scripts, apps, and services call the same ones — AI and traditional software building on the same foundation.

And when you want the whole graph as a directory of markdown files — for git, for Obsidian, for a custom dashboard — parachute-vault export writes it out, lossless and round-trippable. More →

Auth-gated by default

OAuth + TOTP for humans. Scoped tokens for agents.

Every request is verified.

Ready for the day your Vault goes public — today's focus is local Claude Code, zero setup for you.

UI Host

One module hosts all your UIs.

Parachute Surface — the UI host module. Notes (now part of Surface) ships as the first canonical surface: text and voice capture, hierarchical tags, works offline. Install more custom UIs — Gitcoin Brain, Unforced Brain, your own — under the same host.

Bundle SPAs into one supervised module instead of one per UI. Fork Notes or write your own.
