Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Persistent memory and session intelligence for Claude Code. Auto-tracks mistakes, decisions, and context via hooks. Mines session history for patterns and cross-session search. Loop detection, pre-edit warnings, context compaction survival. Runs locally with Ollama.
Codebase memory for coding agents, with no embeddings and no API key. A deterministic AST index answers "which files are relevant to this task?" in milliseconds, and agents write durable notes about the repo that are content-hash checked — a note flags itself stale the moment the code it describes changes. Notes are markdown inside the repo, so they commit and review alongside your code. npm i -g @cstart/coldstart && coldstart init
