# 🧪 Distill
[](https://github.com/5queezer/distill/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
[](LICENSE)
An MCP server that gives Claude Code a shared team knowledge base — a local LLM transforms your raw input into anonymous, factual knowledge *before* anything leaves your device.
No author. No frustration. No names. Just a clean, reusable fact.
## Quick Start
```bash
pip install distill-mcp
ollama pull gemma3:4b && ollama pull nomic-embed-text
claude mcp add distill -- python -m distill_mcp
```
Then in Claude Code:
```
You: "No, we don't use REST here. We switched to gRPC last month."
Claude: [saves to distill]
Got it. I've noted that the team uses gRPC, not REST.
... next session, different repo ...
You: "Set up the API for this new service."
Claude: [searches distill → finds gRPC decision]
Based on your team's knowledge, I'll set up a gRPC
service since the team switched from REST last month.
```
Distill saves when you correct a mistake or make a decision, and searches before proposing architecture — no prompting needed.
## What makes this different
Every "memory MCP" stores your raw text in a database. Distill doesn't. The local LLM is a mandatory privacy gateway that transforms personal thoughts into impersonal team knowledge.
| | Raw stays local | LLM distills | Team sync | Platform agnostic |
|--|----------------|-------------|-----------|-------------------|
| Claude-Mem | Partial (`` opt-out) | Cloud API compresses | Single-user | Claude Code only |
| Cipher | No | No | Yes | No |
| Supermemory | No | No | Yes | No |
| Mem0 | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| Memctl | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| **Distill** | **Yes** | **Yes** | **Yes** | **Yes** |
