Cairn functions as an Obsidian-like memory vault, specifically designed to serve as a shared brain for AI assistants. It allows agents to access, create, and manage structured, back-linked markdown notes, ensuring knowledge, entities, meeting logs, and project context persist across various conversations and tools like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients. With features like WikiLinks, daily notes, full-text search, and a minimal tool interface, Cairn provides a robust and centralized knowledge base for collaborative AI workflows.
