Memory: A knowledge-graph-based persistent memory system that lets an agent remember entities and relations across sessions. 20 MCP servers do similar work, most sharing Open Source, Local-First and Official, ranked by how much they have in common with Memory.

Back to Memory

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

  2. 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.
