Overview
What is Bastra Recall?
Bastra Recall is a persistent memory layer that works across multiple AI surfaces — Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any tool that speaks MCP or HTTP. It runs as a single local daemon serving all AI tools at once, storing memories as plain markdown files with YAML frontmatter in an Obsidian-compatible vault.
How to use Bastra Recall?
Install the daemon locally and point it to a vault folder of markdown files. The server autonomously saves learned information and recalls relevant memories before actions via hooks like PreToolUse and SessionStart (Claude Code). No manual configuration steps beyond setup are described in the README.

FAQ from Bastra Recall
How does Bastra Recall differ from embed-everything memory approaches?
Bastra Recall uses hybrid BM25 + vector search with the recall_when field as the highest-weighted trigger, providing much better recall semantics than approaches that embed everything.
Where does Bastra Recall store data?
All memories are stored locally in a user-specified folder of plain markdown files with YAML frontmatter. This vault is compatible with Obsidian and can be synced via iCloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox.
What runtime or dependencies are required?
Bastra Recall runs as a single local daemon. The README does not specify a particular language runtime or dependency list, but it communicates over MCP and HTTP.
Does Bastra Recall support authentication or bring your own key?
Yes, it is BYOK (bring your own key) and MIT licensed.
What transport protocols does Bastra Recall support?
It supports both MCP (Model Context Protocol) and HTTP, allowing integration with any AI surface that speaks either protocol.
