20 Engram alternatives

Engram: 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. 20 MCP servers do similar work, most sharing Open Source, Local-First and Agent Memory, ranked by how much they have in common with Engram.

    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: Agent Memory, Knowledge Base, Local-First, Open Source

  2. by Model Context Protocol

    A knowledge-graph-based persistent memory system that lets an agent remember entities and relations across sessions.

  4. 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: CLI, Local-First, Open Source

  5. 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.
