Ecosystem
skope is one of three local-first tools — firma (money), memex (memory), skope (news) — that interoperate through any MCP client. They share one principle: your data stays on your machine, and the AI comes to it.
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.
Explore the rest
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.
