# Connect AI tools via Model Context Protocol (MCP)

## Action

Stand up an MCP server that fronts your [[entity-postgresql]] + [[entity-pgvector]] database, then point your preferred AI clients (Claude Desktop, Cursor, custom scripts) at it.

## Why

MCP — see [[concept-model-context-protocol]] — is what turns a personal database into a *brain* that any agent can read and write. It is the universal cable between your memory and any model. Without it, you would be stuck building bespoke integrations per tool, recreating the silo problem one connector at a time.

When a new SOTA model launches, you do not migrate data. You just point its MCP client at the same server. This is the practical mechanism behind [[claim-architecture-over-models]] and [[contrarian-architecture-over-models]].

## Outcome

AI agents can autonomously read and write to your personal memory system, performing [[concept-semantic-search]] and structured queries on demand.
