secbrain 0.1.6

Persistent memory for Claude Code — local or VPS

SecBrain

Persistent memory for Claude Code — local or VPS.

SecBrain gives Claude Code a long-term memory vault that persists across sessions. Install it once globally, run secbrain init in any project, and Claude will automatically remember bugs, features, decisions, and learned patterns.

---

Install

pip install secbrain -q

Quick Start

# In any project directory
cd my-project
secbrain init

The wizard will:

1. Ask where your vault lives (local ~/.secbrain/vault or remote VPS)
2. Deploy the MCP server (locally or via SSH)
3. Register the current project
4. Inject CLAUDE.md instructions and .mcp.json MCP config
5. Install Claude Code session hooks

Then start a Claude Code session — memory is active automatically.
