When to use

Optimised for: Claude-Code-native + MCP-portable memory

Anti-fit: not for non-Claude-Code clients (some are MCP-portable)

Pros & cons

Pros

OSS MCP memory server with vector + KV backends; flexible deployment options.

Cons

Author-maintained; documentation uneven; not actively heavily adopted.

Claims & capabilities

Self-compresses aging memories to address context-window pressure.

Similar systems

Other claude code memory mechanisms in the catalog, ranked by inbound references.

  • Official MCP Memory server T1

    Knowledge-graph-based persistent memory MCP server — the canonical reference implementation. npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory ; configurable via MEMORY_FILE_PATH .

  • Claude Code auto-memory T1

    Persistent file-based memory at ~/.claude/projects/<project>/memory/ with a MEMORY.md index plus typed memory files (user / feedback / project / reference). Loaded into context across sessions.

  • claude-brain T2

    Claude Code plugin packaging of Memvid (see Dedicated memory layers). Wraps the Memvid .mv2 single-file store as a slash-command-installable plugin so per-project memory becomes a git-committable file inside the repo.

  • Claude-CursorMemoryMCP T2

    FastAPI server. RBAC + API-key auth, encryption, backup/recovery, embedding pipeline with deduplication. Only server in this list with role-based access control over pgvector.

  • claude-mem T1

    Hooks into Claude Code's session lifecycle; compresses tool outputs into ~500-token observations via Claude's agent SDK. SQLite + FTS5 with optional Chroma vector. "Endless Mode" compresses in-flight to extend session length. Captures what the agent did , not just what the user typed.

  • claude-supermemory T2

    Wraps Supermemory cloud API. Team memory shared across project members, separate from personal memories. Auto-capture on session end; per-repo config.
