Elephia

Elephia gives an AI assistant a local, Git-like store of context and memory, exposed over MCP and kept on the user's own machine.

What you can do

• Provides a local-first, deterministic memory store for an assistant's context, described as "Git for your AI's context".
• Stores that context in a directory on the user's machine, by default the nearest .elephia/ folder or a store under the home directory.
• Honors an existing legacy context store directory, so an older store can still be used.
• No individual tools are listed in the manifest, so the exact operations available are not documented here.

When to use it

Worth adding when you want an assistant to keep durable, versioned context or memory locally rather than in a hosted service, and you are comfortable running a local process on a desktop machine.

Requirements

Runs as a local stdio process on a desktop machine (not available as a web executable), launched with uvx from the elephia PyPI package, so Python and uv are needed. The ELEPHIA_DIR environment variable can point at the context store directory; otherwise the nearest .elephia/ folder or a default store under the home directory is used. No authentication is declared.
