AgentRecall vs Linksee Memory

A side-by-side look at the AgentRecall and Linksee Memory MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

AgentRecall logoAgentRecallKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)Persistent, compounding memory for AI agents across sessions. Uses the Intelligent Distance Protocol to surface the most contextually relevant past memories. Five tools: sessionstart, remember, recall, check, sessionend. npx agent-recall-mcp68GreatAuth: no auth requiredLinksee Memory logoLinksee MemoryKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)Local-first cross-agent memory with a 6-layer structure, Ebbinghaus-style forgetting curve, and drift detection that catches when code diverges from past decisions. One SQLite file shared across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini — no account or API key. npx linksee-memory57GoodAuth: no auth required

Verdict: choose AgentRecall for knowledge & memory work as a local process; choose Linksee Memory for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
