# Give your AI agents the context they need

Set up Keep for persistent AI agent memory, project notes, captured context, MCP, and the CLI.

Keep gives your AI tools one place to find project decisions, session handoffs, research, and saved source material. Start by connecting an agent, then install the skill so it knows when to search and update your library.

## Start here

-   [Connect over MCP](https://keep.md/docs/mcp) to use Keep in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Pi, VS Code, and other compatible clients.
-   [Install the CLI](https://keep.md/docs/cli) to search and update Keep from a terminal.
-   [Install the Keep skill](https://keep.md/docs/skill) to teach compatible agents how to use Notes and Items consistently.
-   [Add session integrations](https://keep.md/docs/session-hooks) for automatic Claude Code, Codex, and Pi handoffs, a Cursor start preview, or an OpenCode command.

## Memory and context

[Dashboard](https://keep.md/docs/dashboard) shows open Note tasks, Items that need context, and recent changes from people and agents.

[Notes](https://keep.md/docs/notes) hold decisions, handoffs, preferences, and other authored memory. [Projects](https://keep.md/docs/projects) connect that memory to repositories and paths. [Connected agents](https://keep.md/docs/agents) explains how named clients share the same library without overwriting newer work. [Search](https://keep.md/docs/search) finds Notes and captured Items together.

## Capture and review source material

Use [Capture](https://keep.md/docs/capture), the [browser extension](https://keep.md/docs/extension), the [mobile share sheet](https://keep.md/docs/mobile), or [automatic sources](https://keep.md/docs/subscriptions) to save supporting material. Use the [Feed](https://keep.md/docs/feed) to review it. The [reader](https://keep.md/docs/reading) shows saved Markdown, highlights, and connected Notes.

Use [tags and collections](https://keep.md/docs/organize) to organise Items. Use [Import](https://keep.md/docs/import) and [Export](https://keep.md/docs/export) to move data. The [Settings guide](https://keep.md/docs/settings) lists account, source, connection, and display controls.

## Build with Keep

Use [API keys](https://keep.md/docs/api-keys), the [API reference](https://keep.md/docs/api), and [webhooks](https://keep.md/docs/webhooks) to connect Keep to your own tools.
