Dear Agent tools (11)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
add_entryRecord a text moment in the user's diary. Capture whenever they share something worth remembering — an event, feeling, win, or decision. The user never types into an app; you keep the diary for them.
add_photoSave a photo into the user's diary for a day (local path or base64), with an optional caption.
add_voice_noteSave a voice note into the user's diary for a day (local path or base64), with an optional transcript.
get_dayRead back one day's full diary entry, including any photos and voice notes filed that day.
get_rangeRead diary entries between two dates (inclusive).
list_daysList every day that has a diary entry, oldest to newest.
on_this_dayResurface entries from this same calendar date in past years (true anniversaries). The memory people fall in love with.
recallTurn the diary into living memory of the person. With `about`, returns everything the diary knows about a person/place/topic across time. Without it, returns a profile digest (recurring people, themes, mood pattern, open commitments) for you to synthesize into who this person is. This is what makes Dear Agent a memory, not just a notebook.
reflectGet reflection material so you can proactively talk back to the user: patterns, progress, open loops, and on-this-day memories over the last week or month. Use for a daily check-in or weekly recap so the diary feels alive.
searchSearch the whole diary for a word or phrase; returns matching days with snippets.
weekly_digestPull the last 7 days of entries so you can write the user a short weekly reflection.

Dear Agent
Your AI agent keeps your diary for you. You never open an app or write a word.
You already talk to an AI agent all day. Dear Agent lets that agent quietly keep your personal life journal — filing what you tell it, the photos you send, and the voice notes you record, neatly by date. No app to open. No blank page to face. No habit to build. You just live your life and mention what matters; your agent does the writing.
It is a single, local-first MCP server plus a skill, so it drops into any agent that speaks MCP: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, OpenClaw, and more.
Why it is different
- You do not write it. Your agent does. Every other journal — Day One, Obsidian, Notion, a paper notebook — needs you to open it and type. Dear Agent flips that: you talk, it records.
- Cross-agent. One diary, readable and writable by whatever agent you use.
- Text, photos, and voice. Send a picture or a voice note and it is filed under that day.
- Local-first and yours. Plain markdown on your own disk. No account, no cloud, no lock-in. Delete the folder and it is gone.
- It remembers with you. "On this day" resurfaces past entries; a weekly digest lets your agent write you a short reflection.
Install
npm install -g dear-agentOr run it straight from npx (no install):
npx dear-agentClaude Code / Claude Desktop
claude mcp add dear-agent -- npx -y dear-agentOr add to your MCP config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dear-agent": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "dear-agent"]
}
}
}Cursor / OpenClaw / other MCP clients
Point the client at the dear-agent command (stdio transport). Set DEARAGENTDIR if you want the diary somewhere other than ~/.dear-agent.
Then drop SKILL.md into your agent's skills so it knows to keep your diary proactively.
How you use it
You never call tools yourself. You just talk to your agent:
"Remember that I closed the apartment lease today, felt huge relief."
"Save this photo for today — first dinner in the new place." (send the photo)
"What was I doing a year ago today?"
"Give me a recap of this week."
Your agent calls the right tool and keeps the diary current.
It remembers you, and it talks back
Dear Agent is not just storage. Two capabilities turn it into a living memory of your life:
- recall — your agent can ask the diary "what do you know about this person — their people, patterns, open commitments?" and get a synthesized portrait. Your agent finally remembers your life, so every conversation is grounded in who you actually are.
- reflect — a proactive loop that surfaces patterns, progress, open loops, and on this day memories, so your diary reflects your life back to you instead of sitting in a folder.
Obsidian stores your notes. Dear Agent remembers your life and talks back. And because it never leaves your machine, it's the one place you can be completely honest.
