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 MCP server for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI). Hybrid retrieval (vector + BM25), cross-encoder reranking, knowledge graph with PPR traversal, session checkpoint/resume, and multi-scope isolation. Local-first with LanceDB + SQLite, zero external dependencies.
Self-hosted mem0 MCP server for Claude Code with Qdrant vector search, Neo4j knowledge graph, and Ollama embeddings. Zero-config OAT auth, split-model graph routing, session hooks for automatic cross-session memory, and 11 tools. Supports both Anthropic and fully local Ollama setups.
