Engram: Personal knowledge RAG system — Obsidian vault indexer, vector search, MCP server
Engram

Your notes are your AI's memory.
MCP-native · semantic + keyword search · real-time sync · self-hostable · source-available · Elixir/Phoenix
Quickstart · Self-host · MCP · API · Architecture · Plugin
Your notes stay plain markdown that you and your AI assistants both read and
write. Pairs with the
Engram Obsidian Sync plugin to
sync your whole vault.
Self-Host (Docker Compose)
Don't want to run the commands yourself? Open the
Quickstart docs, select
the whole page, and paste it into your AI assistant — it's written
top-to-bottom as imperatives the AI can execute in order.
Otherwise:
git clone https://github.com/engram-app/Engram.git
cd Engram
cp .env.example .env # then fill in the three secrets at the top
docker compose up -d
App at http://localhost:4000. Migrations run on boot. Only port 4000 is
host-exposed; everything else stays on the private Docker network.
Large vaults? Enable MinIO for S3-style attachments:docker compose --profile s3 up -d — see
storage docs.
Better embeddings? Switch to Voyage AI in .env — see
embeddings docs.
