🏠 tilde

Your AI agents' home directory

tilde is a privacy-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that acts as the universal memory and profile layer for AI Agents.

Configure once. Use everywhere. Your data, your control.

Supports profile management, skills, resume import, and team sync.

The Problem

Every time you switch AI tools, you face the same issues:

• 🔄 Repetition: "I'm a Senior SWE", "I prefer Python", "Don't use ORMs"
• 🧩 Fragmentation: Preferences learned in Cursor aren't available in Claude
• 🔒 Privacy Concerns: Unsure who has access to your personal context

The Solution

tilde acts as a "digital passport" that your AI agents can read:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Claude Desktop  │   Cursor   │  Windsurf  │  Your Agent   │
└────────┬─────────┴─────┬──────┴─────┬──────┴───────┬───────┘
         │               │            │              │
         └───────────────┴─────┬──────┴──────────────┘
                               │
                    ┌──────────▼──────────┐
                    │   tilde MCP Server  │
                    │   (runs locally)    │
                    └──────────┬──────────┘
                               │
                    ┌──────────▼──────────┐
                    │   ~/.tilde/profile  │
                    │   (your data)       │
                    └─────────────────────┘

Quick Start

Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install tilde-ai

# Initialize your profile

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/topskychen/tilde.git
cd tilde

# Install with uv

Configure Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project (or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global access):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tilde": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tilde-ai"]
    }
  }
}

Once configured, you'll see tilde in your MCP servers with all available tools and resources:

Configure Antigravity

Add to .gemini/antigravity/settings.json in your project:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tilde": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tilde-ai"]
    }
  }
}

Configure Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tilde": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tilde-ai"]
    }
  }
}

Example Usage

Once configured, your AI agent can access your profile. Try asking:

"What is my name?"

The agent will use the get_profile tool to fetch your identity and respond with your name and role:

Create Your Profile

schema_version: "1.0.0"

user_profile:
  identity:
    name: "John Doe"
    role: "Full Stack Developer"
    years_experience: 10
    # Add any custom fields you need:
    timezone: "America/Los_Angeles"
    pronouns: "they/them"

  tech_stack:
    languages:
      - TypeScript
