Your data never leaves your machine

Your ChatGPT history is worth keeping.

You've had hundreds of conversations — ideas, projects, decisions, and how your mind works. We'll give you the scaffolding to make all of it portable, searchable, and useful in Claude.

Your data stays on your machine. We give you the structure — MCP fills it in.
Why this matters

Your ChatGPT history isn't just chat logs.

It's a record of your ideas, your projects, and how your mind works. PDT gives you the scaffolding to make all of it portable and searchable — across any AI tool. Your data. Your machine. Your rules.

What you'll build

Scaffolding first. Then it all unlocks.

Download the structure. Run MCP to fill it with your data. Then everything else becomes possible.

MCP Scaffolding for Claude

Download a pre-structured template folder. Point MCP at the scaffolding plus your ChatGPT export, and your conversations become searchable, citable context that Claude can actually read — right from your machine.

Networking Card

Once MCP has indexed your history, generate a shareable profile built from your real interests and thinking style. Better than a bio — it lets collaborators (and their AI tools) understand how you actually work.

Get started

Three steps to a
smarter Claude.

Export your history, grab the scaffolding, and let MCP connect the dots.

1

Export from ChatGPT

Go to Settings → Data Controls → Export. You'll get an email with your conversations.json file (may take up to 24 hrs).

2

Download the scaffolding

Grab the MCP scaffolding folder from our site — a pre-structured template that knows the shape of your data without ever reading the content.

3

Run MCP locally

Point MCP at your scaffolding and your original export. It fills in the structure on your machine — and Claude can now search your full history.

Your privacy, not ours

Built for you to own your data, not for us to see it.

We never see your data

You download generic scaffolding. MCP fills it in locally with your conversations. We never read, process, or touch your export — not even in the browser.

We have no database

There is nothing to breach. The site serves static scaffolding — no data processing happens here, not on a server, not in the browser.

MCP runs on your machine

When MCP fills in the scaffolding, it reads your export locally. Your conversation content never leaves your device.

Claude reads, never stores

Claude accesses your history through MCP at query time. Your files stay on your device — Claude references them, it doesn't copy them.

Who we are

Citizen Infrastructure Builders

“If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don't bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to new ways of thinking.”

— Buckminster Fuller

We build digital pitchforks — citizen infrastructure that teaches collective action, solidarity, and shared stewardship through use. Not apps or platforms in the traditional sense, but tools crafted to reshape how people relate to each other and to their communities.
