Connect your notes to your AI apps over MCP
Locul runs a small MCP server on your computer, so Claude, Codex, Cursor and OpenClaw can search your notes and recall what Locul has learned from them. These guides show how to connect it, one app or note tool at a time.

Obsidian MCP
Connect every Obsidian vault in your home folder to Claude, Codex and Cursor, PDFs included. It also compares the free Obsidian MCP servers and says which one to pick for which job.
No Obsidian plugin. Locul reads the markdown files straight from disk, so Obsidian can stay closed.

What the Locul MCP server is
It's a local program named locul that your AI app starts on your own computer. Through it, the app can search your notes, open one, find related notes, recall the memories Locul has built from your notes, and save a new note. It can't edit or delete the notes you already have.
Claude Code, Claude Desktop and ChatGPT / Codex connect from a button in Locul's AI apps screen. Cursor takes one pasted block, and OpenClaw connects too. In Locul's AI access settings you choose which tools your apps may use, which words they must never see, and which folders they can never read.
By default, Locul's AI builds memories from your notes on our servers and backs them up to your Locul account. Local-only mode keeps that work on your computer. The tools need an active plan or trial, so start a free trial or download Locul first. Guides for more apps and note tools will be added here.
