Target Reference Server

Gingugu Overview

The gingugu/gingugu MCP server gives coding assistants persistent local memory across sessions, repositories, and projects. It stores structured memories in SQLite, organizes them with namespaces and relationships, and retrieves them using BM25 plus optional local semantic embeddings. Use it when an assistant needs durable project decisions, bug history, architectural context, or other knowledge without sending data to a cloud service. It also includes session hooks, consolidation tools, health metrics, and an OS keychain-backed credential vault.
