Overview

High Dimensional Research unveiled kips, a utility designed to maintain personal data persistence across AI model sessions. As they note, "Keep a personal database of your notes, tasks, past conversations, and even authentication details for MCP clients like Claude Desktop."

Key Functionality

The tool manages four primary data types:

• Authentication credentials
• Notes
• Tasks
• Conversations

All entries support tagging and retrieval by tags, enabling organized data management.

Setup

Installation requires a single command: npx kips config to integrate with Claude Desktop.

Usage Examples

Importing a tagged note:

npx kips import --type note ~/note.txt --tag "big-deal another-tag"

The system handles various input formats through Claude's transcription capabilities, including PDFs and screenshots.

Integration Possibilities

The developers encourage experimentation with MCP integrations. One example combines mcp-shell with GitHub's CLI to sync issues as actionable tasks that Claude can reference and modify within terminal sessions.

Context

The team describes kips as addressing "data custody and permissioning across otherwise ephemeral sessions" in next-generation model-integrated applications. The name derives from Kips Bay in Manhattan.
