Achriom vs Hindsight
A side-by-side look at the Achriom and Hindsight MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Achriom for knowledge & memory work over a hosted endpoint; choose Hindsight for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

- You prefer a local stdio subprocess transport.
- Its auth model fits you: API key required.
- You have the keys it needs:
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY, HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER, HINDSIGHT_DB_PASSWORD.
