Morion is an MCP server. Connect any AI assistant and it can search, read, create, and organize your notes -- all from a local SQLite file on your machine. No cloud, no API keys, no network.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call tools on external servers. Instead of pasting context into every chat, your assistant connects to Morion and pulls what it needs on its own.
Add one entry to your client's config file. That's it -- no daemon, no API key, no network.

Same shape works for any MCP client that supports stdio transport.

Every MCP write is logged with the client name. You always know what changed and who did it.
Your work notes and your journal shouldn't have the same AI access. Pro lets you decide which folders are visible through MCP, and whether each one is read-only or read-write.
Choose which folders your AI can see. Private folders are completely invisible to MCP -- they don't show up in search results, tool calls, or folder listings. Your journal stays yours.
Some folders your AI should read but never modify. Meeting notes, reference docs, project specs -- let it search and quote, but not rewrite. Other folders you want it to write to freely. Set it per folder.
Different AI clients can see different slices of your notebook. Claude Desktop gets Work + Projects. Cursor sees only Code. Your personal assistant sees everything. One notebook, multiple access levels.
Folder permissions, read/write control, per-client profiles. Coming soon.
