AGPL-3.0

What it does

Indexes the full contents of pages you visit and files you hold, so "that article I saw somewhere" becomes findable — reachable from a web UI, the terminal, or an AI assistant over MCP. A demo instance is available. The corollary deserves attention: everything you browse gets stored locally, potentially including post-login pages from banks and mail, so review the exclusion rules and think twice on shared machines. AGPL-3.0.

Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.

hister FAQ

Is hister free?: Yes. It runs on your own machine, so there is no usage-based cost either.
Do I need to install anything or write code to use hister?: It connects to an MCP-capable AI app such as Claude. It does not run on its own.
Does hister work on a phone?: No. It needs a computer.
Can I use hister commercially?: The licence is AGPL-3.0. Using it commercially is fine, but if you distribute something built on it you may be required to release that under the same licence. Keep it internal, or check before distributing.
