About Memex Live Capture
Memex Live Capture is the browser piece of the Memex project, a local MCP server that indexes your Claude.ai chat history and exposes it to Claude Code (and other MCP clients).
This extension intercepts the chat data Claude.ai already sends to your browser, and POSTs it to a local Memex server running on 127.0.0.1. Nothing leaves your machine.
Requires:
- Memex installed locally (pip install memex-chats).
- "memex serve" running on the same machine.
- A one-time pairing: paste the access token (from "memex token") into the extension popup.
What it does:
- Live capture: detects when you open a chat on claude.ai and sends the chat payload to http://127.0.0.1:5777/ingest/conversation (authenticated with your local pairing token).
- History backfill: the "Backfill claude.ai history" button in the popup imports your existing conversations on demand, so your past chats get indexed too, not only the ones you open from now on. It runs in your active claude.ai tab using your own logged-in session, is incremental (only new or changed chats are fetched), and is safe to re-run.
- Memex chunks, embeds, and stores everything in a local SQLite index, and Claude Code can then search your history via the Memex MCP tools.
Privacy:
- Sends data only to 127.0.0.1. No external telemetry. No analytics. No remote storage.
- Permissions: access to claude.ai and localhost:5777 (read chats, reach the local server), "storage" (keep your pairing token and capture stats), and "scripting" (used only to start the history backfill in the active claude.ai tab when you click the button).
- Defense in depth: suspicious fields (token, secret, etc.) are redacted from any captured body before forwarding, in case claude.ai's API ever changes.
