1AIVault Documentation

First MCP Connection

Install the 1AIVault MCP server into an AI client and verify that the client can read your vault.

MCP is how AI clients read, search, save, classify, and update vault memory. Open Connection -> Install MCP to install the bundled server into supported clients.

Supported MCP Clients

The current installer list includes Claude Desktop, Cursor, Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity, ChatGPT, and OpenCode.

Install

  1. Open Connection.
  2. Choose Install MCP.
  3. Click Install for the client you want to connect.
  4. Restart that AI client.
  5. Ask it to search the vault.

Example prompt:

text
Search my vault for recent entries and summarize the most important decisions.

Verify

After the client runs a vault tool, open Connection -> Activity or Connection -> Memory Reads. A successful read should show a tool call such as vault_search, vault_brain_query, or vault_recent.

Common Failure Modes

  • The client was not restarted after install.
  • The client config exists but the MCP server is disabled in that client.
  • The database path shown in Diagnostics is missing or points to a stale vault.
  • The AI searched for something that is not imported yet, so the read worked but returned no results.
