https://hub.continue.dev/continuedev/memory-mcp
Discontinued: Continue was bought by Cursor (announced ~2026-06-16); the product is discontinued and the continuedev/continue repo is read-only. Official Memory MCP (Mar 2025) backed by a knowledge graph. Memory is injected via MCP rather than native to the Continue core. Scope depends on MCP server deployment (local or shared).

When to use
Optimised for: KG-backed memory across IDE sessions
Anti-fit: not for non-coding tasks
Pros & cons
Pros
Open-source IDE extension with MCP-based memory — choose your own memory backend.
Cons
Memory quality bounded by chosen MCP server; setup more involved than first-party offerings.
Claims & capabilities
Hub package continuedev/rules-memory ; community integrations add worktree-aware queries.

Other coding-agent memory in the catalog, ranked by inbound references.
- Devin (Cognition) T1
Structured Knowledge items stored server-side. Three-tier scope: repo-pinned (always injected), global (recall by relevance), org/enterprise (visible to org members). Auto-generates Repo Knowledge from repo structure each session; reads past session trajectories for self-improvement; writes notes for recurring scheduled tasks.
- Aider T2
Appends conversation turns to .aider.chat.history.md in project root. restore_chat_history defaults to false — no automatic replay into new sessions. Community /session save command for JSON state snapshots. .aider.conf.yml carries static preferences.
- Augment Code T1
Real-time knowledge graph indexed from connected repos + commit history + CI/CD + tickets + docs. Separate Agent Memory layer (Sept 2025) captures session decisions/corrections/goals as discrete items with developer review/approval UI. MCP endpoint exposes the graph. Acquired by Harness (2026-10-08): Harness bought select Augment Code assets, including Cosmos, the Auggie CLI and the Context Engine, and the team joined Harness. augmentcode.com now leads with Cosmos, a software-factory agent platform.
- Letta Code T3
Letta's stateful coding-agent harness: agents rewrite their own memory blocks and skills, version context in git via MemFS (syncable to GitHub) and reflect via a periodic /sleeptime 'dreaming' process. from Letta (MemGPT) team. letta-ai/letta-code is now the main Letta source (harness, terminal UI, App Server, channels); the Letta V1 API server was retired to the archive branch of letta-ai/letta.
- Replit Agent T1
No documented built-in persistent semantic memory store. Session duration expanded to 200 min (Agent 3); Agent 4 shifts toward persistent runtimes. Temporal used for orchestration durability, not semantic memory. Cross-session memory relies on filesystem + agent-written notes.
- agentmemory (rohitg00) T3
Self-hosted persistent memory layer that captures coding-agent activity and recalls it in later sessions, positioned on public benchmark results. #7 in TeleAI Awesome-Agent-Memory
