20 deja-vu alternatives

deja-vu: Indexes the coding-agent sessions already sitting on your disk — months of history from before you installed it — and serves them back over MCP. 3.5 GB searched in ~1.5 ms, no LLM, no embeddings. 20 MCP servers do similar work, most sharing Coding Agent, Local-First and Memory, ranked by how much they have in common with deja-vu.

Back to deja-vu

  1. by Max Freedom Pollard

    Encrypted, fully offline agent memory: one local vault shared by every agent on the machine, AEAD-encrypted down to the embedding vectors, searched in about 12 ms.

    Also: Local-First, Memory

  2. by Red Hat

    Red Hat's zero-dependency C++23 code-context engine — ranked call graphs and blast-radius analysis, indexing a repo in under half a second with no server and no database.

    Also: Coding Agent, Local-First

  3. by Graphicle

    Local-first Rust MCP server that maps your repo into a code graph and project memory, then hands coding agents cited file-and-line excerpts.

    Also: Coding Agent, Local-First

  4. by okf-memory

    Git-native persistent memory for coding agents — sub-300µs BM25 search over version-controlled plain text, with no embeddings, no database and no API costs.

    Also: Coding Agent, Local-First

  5. by rohitg00

    Self-hosted persistent memory for coding agents: hooks capture what you do, and an MCP server lets any agent recall it across sessions and across tools.

    Also: Coding Agent, Local-First

  6. by Cockroach Labs

    Cockroach Labs' official MCP server exposes a CockroachDB cluster to agents as typed tools — schema inspection, cluster metadata, EXPLAIN and SELECT — with writes and DDL locked off unless you explicitly turn them on.

    Also: Go

  7. by Teamwork.com

    Teamwork.com's official MCP server for projects, tasks, time, Desk tickets, Spaces and Chat — with profile endpoints that trim the tool list to one role and an optional read-only mode.

    Also: Go

  8. by Qdrant

    Qdrant's official MCP server — semantic memory for AI assistants backed by a real vector database.

    Also: Memory

  9. by markhuangai

    Self-hosted agent memory server on Postgres/pgvector that tracks evidence, flags contradictions, and never silently rewrites facts.

    Also: Memory

  10. by Trail

    Builds a searchable markdown graph of your repo so coding agents stop re-exploring it on every task — reported 42% fewer tokens and 46% fewer tool calls.

    Also: Coding Agent

  11. by Headroom Labs

    Context-compression MCP server that shrinks tool outputs, logs, files and RAG chunks before they reach the model, cutting 60-95% of tokens on JSON payloads.

    Also: Coding Agent

  12. by Oraios AI

    Semantic code toolkit for coding agents — symbol-level search, editing and refactoring backed by language servers or the JetBrains platform.

    Also: Coding Agent

  13. by mksglu

    MCP server and Claude Code plugin that keeps bulky tool output out of your context window, indexes it for search, and preserves session state across compaction.

    Also: Coding Agent

  14. by Google

    Free, no-setup MCP server that grounds your coding agent in the Google Home API reference plus the Matter 1.5.1 and Thread 1.4.1 specifications.

    Also: Coding Agent

  15. by duty1g

    A native x64dbg plugin exposing 84 debugging tools and 22 event callbacks over HTTP, so an AI assistant can drive breakpoints, memory and disassembly directly.

    Also: Coding Agent

  16. by Snag

    Snag's official remote MCP server — hands a coding agent the session replay, console logs, network trace and annotated screenshots captured for a bug, then takes the fix PR link back.

    Also: Coding Agent

  17. by Gentleman Programming

    Persistent memory for coding agents as a single Go binary — SQLite and FTS5 behind MCP, an HTTP API, a CLI and a TUI, with no Node, Python or Docker required.

    Also: Local-First

  18. by KanaWorks_AI

    Generate music loops and sound effects locally with Stable Audio 3, then loop, normalize and export them, from any MCP client.

    Also: Local-First

  19. by robotmcp

    Drive real robots from an AI assistant. Bridges MCP clients to ROS 1 and ROS 2 through rosbridge — publish topics, call services, send action goals and read sensors with no change to robot code.

    Also: Local-First

  20. by arabold

    Self-hosted documentation retrieval for coding agents — index any library's docs from the web, GitHub, npm, PyPI or local files and query them by exact version. An open-source Context7 alternative.
