What is Eigen Mesh?
In plain terms: Eigen Mesh is your AI-native second brain. It remembers what you think and plan, organizes it automatically, and makes it available to all your AI tools from one place — so you never have to repeat yourself.
Eigen Mesh captures thoughts as you have them — meeting notes, ideas, tasks, fragments — without asking you to tag, file, or structure anything upfront. In the background, it sorts and connects what you saved. Later, when you chat with Cursor, Claude, or another connected assistant, your memories are already there.
You own your data. Eigen Mesh is open source (Apache 2.0), can be self-hosted, and on managed hosting starts with free credits then €3.99/mo — less than a coffee.
What you can do
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Capture | Type or dictate a thought in the browser (server-side speech-to-text on platform credits) — no folders or tags required |
| Let it organize | Eigen Mesh classifies, links, and indexes memories automatically |
| Use everywhere | Connected AI tools search and cite your memories instead of starting from zero |
| Stay in control | Export, delete, or self-host — your memory belongs to you |

For technical readers
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools — like saving or searching your memories — over HTTP. Eigen Mesh exposes memory operations through MCP so Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other clients can read and write your second brain without custom integration code. You do not need to understand MCP to use Eigen Mesh in the browser.
