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.
Self-learning memory for AI coding agents. Observes tool sequences, user preferences, and recurring fixes; confidence-based promotion (hits ≥5 → mature, ≥10 → rule) so agents stop repeating mistakes without explicit instruction. SQLite-backed, project-aware, zero external deps. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Goose, Codex. Published on PyPI as instinct-mcp and registered in the MCP Registry.
