New system gives AI persistent access to personal notes

The author details the creation and use of Vault Cortex, a self-hosted MCP server that provides AI models like Claude with persistent access to a personal Obsidian vault. This system was developed to address the fragmented memory capabilities of current AI assistants, where context is often siloed within specific applications or vendor databases. Vault Cortex allows AI to read and write to a unified, user-controlled data store, enabling a more consistent and accessible memory for AI tools, as demonstrated during a 15-day trip through France and Italy.
