Integrations Overview
BaseLayer works with your AI tools in two ways: capturing conversations in, and recalling knowledge out.
Capture: getting conversations in
These integrations watch your AI conversations and send them to your local vault.

Recall: using knowledge out
These integrations let your AI tools search and use your knowledge vault via MCP.
| AI Tool | Connection | Setup |
|---|
| Claude.ai | Remote MCP (OAuth) | Connect |
| ChatGPT | Remote MCP (OAuth) | Connect |
| Claude Code | Local MCP | Connect |
| Gemini CLI | Local MCP | Connect |
You can capture from any source and recall from any tool. A conversation captured in ChatGPT is searchable from Claude, and vice versa.
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools connect to external data sources. BaseLayer uses MCP to give your AI access to your knowledge vault.
When an AI tool is connected via MCP, it can call BaseLayer tools like recall, remember, and recent to search and update your vault.
