Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Rms Memory MCP max-ramas Knowledge & Memory	Codebase Memory MCP DeusData Knowledge & Memory
Summary	Local-first persistent memory for AI coding agents. Hybrid vector + full-text search (LanceDB + Tantivy), separate Markdown and Tree-sitter code indexes, per-project isolated vaults shared across IDEs (Cursor, Zed, Claude Code, Codex), bounded recall with abstain-on-low-confidence.	Code-intelligence engine that indexes a repo into a persistent knowledge graph — functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, cross-service links. 159 languages via tree-sitter + Hybrid LSP, sub-ms structural queries, 99% fewer tokens than grep. Single static binary, zero dependencies, 100% local. npx codebase-memory-mcp
