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

rememberStore a memory for future recall. Use this to remember important information, decisions, user preferences, project context, or anything you want to recall later.recallSearch memories AND todos using semantic similarity. Returns both relevant memories and matching todos. Use this to find past experiences, decisions, context, or pending work. Modes: 'semantic' (vector similarity), 'associative' (graph traversal), 'temporal' (time-based retrieval), 'hybrid' (combined), 'spatial' (geo-location based), 'mission' (mission context), 'action_outcome' (reward-based learning).recall_by_tagsFind memories by tags. Returns memories matching ANY of the provided tags. Useful for finding memories by category (e.g., 'tool:Edit', 'file:src/main.rs', 'source:hook', 'error', 'session-summary').context_summaryGet a condensed summary of recent learnings, decisions, and context. Use this at the start of a session to quickly understand what you've learned before.list_memoriesList all stored memoriesforgetDelete a specific memory by IDmemory_statsGet statistics about stored memoriesverify_indexVerify vector index integrity - diagnose orphaned memories that are stored but not searchable. Returns health status and count of orphaned memories.repair_indexRepair vector index by re-indexing orphaned memories. Use this when verify_index shows unhealthy status. Returns count of repaired memories.backup_createCreate a backup of all memories. Returns backup metadata including ID, size, and checksum. Backups are stored locally and can be restored later.backup_listList all available backups for this user. Returns backup history with IDs, timestamps, and sizes.backup_verifyVerify backup integrity using SHA-256 checksum.
