What is MulmoClaude?

MulmoClaude is a local-first AI assistant platform you run on your own computer. It uses Claude Code as the AI backend and provides a personal wiki the assistant builds and maintains, schema-driven collections for structured data like todos and contacts, RSS/Atom feed aggregation, a scheduler for recurring tasks, and a plugin system including accounting and SEC filings tools. You interact through a web UI at localhost:3001 (production) or localhost:5173 (development), and can also connect from messaging apps like Telegram, Slack, Discord, LINE, WhatsApp, Matrix, and many others via separate bridge processes. All data — memories, wiki pages, collections, feeds, scheduled tasks — stays as plain files in a workspace directory (default ~/mulmoclaude). An optional Docker sandbox isolates the AI's file access. The project is MIT-licensed and published on npm as mulmoclaude.

FAQ

There's no Calendar or Kanban button

Calendar and Kanban views require specific field types in the schema (date for Calendar, status enum for Kanban). Ask Claude to add the needed fields.

The collection I made doesn't show up

Reopen the Collections page (reload the browser tab). The list is rebuilt every time it opens. If it still isn't there, the blueprint may be broken. Ask in chat: "My … collection doesn't show up in the list. Check its schema.json and fix it."
