what do people make with this?

VIBE 1

Give Claude or ChatGPT a personal context file they can read and update through one link.

VIBE 2

Run your own private version of the manifest server instead of trusting a third-party deployment.

VIBE 3

Build a portable, encrypted personal knowledge file that any MCP-compatible AI app can access.

VIBE 4

Study a small, real example of token-derived encryption for anonymous, accountless storage.

in plain english

manifest-mcp is the server code behind readthemanifest.net, a service that gives you one personal link letting AI apps like Claude and ChatGPT read a portable file of context about you, called your manifest, and save new facts to it over time. This repository is published so anyone can check exactly what the server does rather than just trusting a description of it. Your personal link contains a long random secret token that does two jobs at once. First, the server turns that token into a scrambled label using a one-way hash, and uses that label to find your storage slot, without ever storing the token itself anywhere. Second, the same token is used to generate an encryption key that locks your manifest file, so what actually sits in storage is unreadable on its own. The file only gets unlocked for a moment when your AI app sends a request carrying that key. There are no accounts, emails, or passwords involved, which also means that if you lose your link, there is no way to recover your manifest, since there is nothing to reset. You can export a copy of your manifest at any time as a safeguard. The README is honest that publishing the code only proves what this exact code does, not what any particular running server is actually doing at any moment, and it points out that running your own copy closes that gap completely. The project itself is just three small files: one that handles reading and adding facts to a manifest, one that manages creating, replacing, exporting, and deleting a manifest vault, and one that handles the underlying storage and encryption using a service called Netlify Blobs. Manifests are limited to 150 kilobytes, and individual notes to 4 kilobytes. You can deploy your own copy to a free Netlify account, or run it locally for testing with a few sample commands shown in the README. The project also tracks anonymous usage counts per feature, with no personal data included, and is released under the MIT license.
