Ecosystem

Three tools, one principle

• skope, you are here. News intelligence: a personalized lens on the world, the news that reaches you.
• firma, financial intelligence: portfolio · net worth · cash flow, in ~/.firma/firma.db.
• memex, persistent memory: your notes and the context behind them, across every session.

Each is an independent MCP server you install on its own. None depends on the others, but an AI client can hold all three at once, and that's where they compound: skope can read your firma holdings to score which news actually reaches you, and memex remembers why you started following a story skope first surfaced.

How you use them

The tools are the core. You reach them through whatever MCP client you like, the interface is just a front-end:

• Claude Desktop · Claude Code · Cursor, the text way.
• Herald, a voice interface, if you'd rather talk to your stack out loud (macOS).

Nothing sits above the tools. The AI client orchestrates them, and you swap interfaces freely.

Federation, not lock-in

The tools never call each other. Each owns its own data and exposes its own MCP tools; the AI client is the only thing that sees across them. Add or drop any one and the rest keep working. Compose through the model, not through a backend.

This is skope's own Federation principle seen from outside: skope owns its interest profile, and firma or memex are optional adapters the AI reads from, never dependencies skope calls.

Better together

You don't need all three. Each works on its own. But memory is the difference between an assistant that re-asks what you already decided and one that doesn't. Here's one morning, then the same holding three weeks later:

You:     Morning, anything I should know today?
Claude:  [skope] New US chip-export rules, one of three stories that
         actually reach you. [firma] It hits your book twice: Nvidia
         directly, plus an index reshuffle that trims your Apple and
         Microsoft. ~18% of the portfolio sits in this cluster.
You:     I'll hold. The thesis hasn't broken.
Claude:  [memex] Saved, "held the chip cluster through the export-rule
         shock, thesis intact." I'll bring it back when it's relevant.

         · · ·  three weeks later  · · ·

You:     Nvidia's sliding again. Remind me why I'm still in?
Claude:  [memex] You decided to hold on the 9th, thesis intact through
         the export shock. [skope] Today is that same rule re-priced, not
         fresh damage. [firma] The cluster's at 16% now, down from 18%.
         Your call still holds.

Notice the spine: skope and firma are the senses that read the world and your book. memex is where the decision lives, so the second conversation doesn't start from zero. That's the whole point of a local stack with memory at its core, and none of it leaves your machine.

firma: your money

Drop your trade history into Claude and get the full picture (portfolio, net worth, cash flow) in one local SQLite file. (skope can read it to sharpen your asset axis.)

memex: your memory

Make Claude remember you across sessions: notes, context, and the reasoning behind your decisions, kept in a local second brain.
