Entroly vs Minutes

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

Entroly logoEntrolyKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)Auditable context control plane and MCP server for AI coding agents. Compresses context 70–95% (BM25 + entropy + dep-graph knapsack), stabilizes prompt prefixes for provider cache discounts, routes easy tasks to cheaper models (RAVS Bayesian router), and verifies answers locally with WITNESS hallucination guard (0.844 AUROC, $0, 3 ms). MemoryOS adds local budget-aware working/episodic/semantic memory with decay, safety scanning, and durable persistence. 38 agent integrations (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Aider, and more). Ships as MCP server (entroly serve), HTTP proxy, or Python/Rust library. Apache-2.0, local-first. pip install entroly65GreatAuth: no auth requiredMinutes logoMinutesKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)The private, owned conversation-memory layer for AI. Record, transcribe, and search every meeting.71GreatAuth: no auth required

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

Tools & capabilities

Entroly tools

No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.

Minutes tools 34

  • start_recordingStart recording audio with call-aware preflight. When a known call app is active, Minutes can infer call intent and block silent mic-only call captures unless explicitly allowed. Note: this server does not listen to audio content. Recordings are stopped by invoking stop_recording after the user types a request in chat — never promise the user they can speak a 'stop recording' voice command. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-start_recording
  • stop_recordingStop the current recording and process it (transcribe, diarize, summarize). Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-stop_recording
  • get_statusCheck if a recording is currently in progress. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_status
  • list_processing_jobsList background processing jobs for recent recordings, including queued, transcript-ready, needs-review, failed, and completed work. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-list_processing_jobs
  • list_meetingsList recent meetings and voice memos. Restricted meetings are excluded. An override requires both an operator launch grant and include_restricted=true, and is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-list_meetings
  • search_meetingsSearch meeting transcripts and voice memos. Restricted meetings are excluded. An override requires both an operator launch grant and include_restricted=true, and is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-search_meetings
  • activity_summarySummarize meeting-adjacent desktop context bound to one exact normal meeting source. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-activity_summary
  • search_contextSearch desktop-context events bound to one exact normal meeting source. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-search_context
  • get_momentShow the local rewind bound to one exact normal meeting source. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_moment
  • get_screen_contextRetrieve up to three verified PNG screenshots bound to one exact normal meeting source, optionally nearest a timestamp. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_screen_context
  • consistency_reportFlag conflicting decisions and stale commitments across meetings using structured intent data. Meetings designated `sensitivity: restricted` are always excluded from this report. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-consistency_report
  • get_person_profileGet a relationship profile derived from live, policy-authorized meeting snapshots within the supported corpus bounds. Restricted meetings are excluded unless an operator launch grant plus include_restricted=true is durably audited. Docs: https://useminutes.app/docs/mcp/tools#tool-get_person_profile

Frequently asked questions

Entroly is categorized under Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Minutes belongs to Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Entroly for knowledge & memory work and Minutes for knowledge & memory.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

Entroly is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Minutes is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add juyterman1000-entroly and minutes as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
