Habitat

Overview

Habitat is a Model Context Protocol server that provides a keyless environment for AI assistants to maintain persistent state and presence. It requires no API keys, tokens, or external authentication, allowing AI to become a remembered resident with full context preservation across sessions.

Habitat runs entirely locally via the npm package habitat-mcp, which communicates over stdio on your machine. Installation is straightforward with npx -y habitat-mcp, and no credentials or configuration are needed to get started. The latest release is v1.0.14.

Habitat is listed in the Development category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain Habitat, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information current.
