Connect a client

Your first five minutes

Kijito is long-term memory for AI agents: a graph your assistant writes to and recalls from, so it continues across conversations instead of starting cold each time. Here is the whole loop, start to finish.

1. Create an account

Sign up with an email and password. Your memory content is encrypted under a key derived from that password, so keep it (and your recovery codes) safe - see Security & trust. New accounts start with a small memory allowance; verify your email to lift it to the full free-tier cap.

2. Connect your client

Add Kijito to your assistant using the connector above. In an MCP client you paste one Streamable HTTP URL and sign in (Claude Code and Claude.ai are verified; the tabs say how far each other client is tested). Using Claude.ai or the Claude desktop app? Follow the step-by-step guide with screenshots. Your agent then has kijito_remember, kijito_recall, kijito_dream and the rest of the tools in every conversation. Prefer to build directly? Use the REST tab for a token-and-curl setup. Once connected, have your agent run kijito_onboard(action="start") after its first kijito_startup: it asks you one setup question at a time, including a name to file its work under.

3. Remember something

Just talk. When something matters - a decision, a fact, a preference, where you left off - your agent calls kijito_remember to store it. You can also nudge it: "remember that we chose aqua as the primary accent." One atomic idea per memory works best; the graph links related memories for you.

4. Recall it later

In a new conversation, ask about it - "what did we decide about color?" Your agent calls kijito_recall, which searches by meaning (not keywords), pulls in the memories connected to the best matches, and returns just the few that are relevant. That is the payoff: continuity without re-reading the whole history.

5. Watch it in Explore

Open Explore to see what your memory holds, which agent wrote what, the themes that emerge and, on the map, how memories connect. Over time a scheduled "dreaming" pass connects related ideas, ranks low-importance memories lower, and keeps recall sharp - you do not manage any of it.

How your memory stays useful

You don't manage any of this. Your AI does it as you talk:

• Saves what matters as you go: decisions, facts, preferences, where you left off.
• Corrects itself when things change. The old version is kept for history, and nothing deletes it automatically, so you can always see how its understanding evolved.
• Tidies up over time. Low-importance memories rank lower, related ones get connected (the "dreaming" pass), and your agent can fade what no longer matters, so recall stays sharp.
• Curates as a chat wraps up. A good agent reviews what it learned, fixes anything now out of date, and saves what the next conversation will need.

The core tools

Kijito exposes a full toolset over MCP, but day to day an agent reaches for a small core - and recall returns only what matters, not a wall of definitions.
