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 for Claude Code grounded in computational neuroscience (41 cited papers). Thermodynamic decay, hippocampal-cortical consolidation, predictive-coding write gate, WRRF retrieval. PostgreSQL + pgvector, 33 MCP tools, 7 lifecycle hooks. Benchmarked 97.8% R@10 on LongMemEval. claude plugin marketplace add cdeust/Cortex
Self-improving learning engine for Claude Code. Extracts signals from every session (corrections, successes, confusion), runs periodic reflections, and evolves behavioral frameworks through evidence tiers (hypothesis → observed → validated). Frameworks that keep working get promoted, bad ones get retired. 9 MCP tools, automatic hooks, phase-adaptive learning. Single dependency, local-only. npx claude-soul init --starter
