Waggle MCP Overview

Waggle-mcp provides a persistent conversational memory engine that stores decisions, reasons, and contradictions across sessions using a graph database. It auto-extracts facts from conversation turns into typed graph nodes with local semantic embeddings, enabling temporal queries and conflict detection. It uses SQLite locally and optionally Neo4j in production, requiring no external API keys. Use it to give AI agents long-term memory that persists beyond context windows.
