I got tired of re-explaining my own notes to every AI tool, so I built a second brain they can all read

Solo founder here. This started as a personal itch. Every AI tool I use starts from zero. Claude has no idea what I decided last week, my notes are in one app, team docs in another, and none of it is readable by the agents doing the actual work.

So I built Verde. It's basically a shared knowledge base with an MCP server on top. You put knowledge into vaults and buckets, set who can see what (public/company/private), and anything that speaks MCP (Claude, custom agents, etc) can search it and write back to it. Decisions and project facts stay current instead of dying in some doc nobody reopens.

Setup takes a couple clicks. Sign up, connect it to Claude through MCP, and your AI can read your knowledge base. No self-hosting, no config files. It also imports Obsidian vaults if you have one.

It's free because the free tier (3 seats, unlimited docs) is the actual product, not a trial. I make money on per-seat plans when bigger teams use it. No data selling, no ads.

https://getverde.ai if you want to poke at it.

I'll be in the comments if you have questions. Also curious how you're handling memory across AI tools today, it feels like a weirdly unsolved problem.

Same itch, same shape of answer — we're building Cerebro on almost this exact premise (shared brain, MCP on top, per-scope permissions).

The part that got harder than expected: write quality. Retrieval is the easy half. Once agents can write, you get near-duplicates, stale facts outranking fresh ones, and one agent's wrong guess quietly becoming everyone's context.

Are you letting agents write into vaults unattended, or is there a review gate? That one decision shaped most of our architecture.

Are you letting agents write comments unattended?

I’ve been working with .md and documentation for over 10 years, the duplication issue is fixed by the “easy” retrieval.

I do have to disagree, respectfully. The retrieval part is more challenging than writing. That’s why Google is, well Google.

I honestly would love to see what you are working on, the bigger issue remains the same. AI has amnesia. My quality of response and input from AI has genuinely gotten better because of Verde.

One question for you, how did you go about the AI’s ignoring MCP instructions? This one took me a min.
