MyChatArchive turns AI chats into local memory

MyChatArchive is an open-source, local-first archive for ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Claude Code, and Cursor history that stores everything in SQLite, generates embeddings locally with sentence-transformers, and exposes the archive through an MCP server and CLI search. It is pitched as a way to bring years of prior AI conversations into Claude or Cursor without cloud sync or core API costs.

// ANALYSIS

This is a smart niche tool for power users who already live inside multiple AI products and want durable, private memory instead of starting every session from scratch.

–The strongest hook is practical interoperability: one archive spans ChatGPT exports, Claude conversations, Grok, Claude Code, and Cursor sessions.
–Local embeddings plus SQLite/FTS5/sqlite-vec make it credible for privacy-conscious users who do not want another hosted memory layer.
–MCP support matters more than the archive itself because it turns stored chat history into live context inside Claude Desktop and Cursor.
–The project is open-core rather than purely open source, with free AGPL local features now and hosted/cloud capabilities positioned as future paid offerings.
–Requiring manual exports for some platforms still adds friction, but the auto-discovery for Claude Code and Cursor gives it an immediate developer-first edge.
