Overview
What you provide
- Allow only appropriate apps or websites to contribute work context and ask a time- or topic-specific recall question.
What you get
- Pieces returns contextual answers, recaps and memory references that compatible MCP clients can use.
Choosing this tool
Pieces stores a long-term work memory locally and makes that context available to compatible assistants through MCP. That differs from uploading a few selected files to a chat. Compare remio for a captured personal knowledge collection, or Monica when manually supplied pages and documents are sufficient. Enterprise adds central capture and provider controls; a local-memory claim alone does not establish where every later model request is processed.
A decision worked through
Five monthly Pro users cost USD 94.95/month before tax. Five monthly Enterprise users cost USD 114.95, a USD 20 difference for the listed organisation controls; external own-key usage is a separate budget.

Setup & workflow
- Start with a narrow set of permitted work sources.
- Ask about a known event and inspect the returned supporting context.
- Evaluate MCP integration and team capture policy before expanding usage.
Requirements & installation
- Install the desktop product, inspect its capture settings and connect only the assistant you intend to use.
Limits & review
- The public plan offers a trial rather than a permanent free tier. Personal on-device storage and organisation-level governance are distinct capabilities.
Your part
- Check captured sources, exclude sensitive work and verify which provider receives context for each connected assistant.
