Memtether Overview

The memtether MCP server gives multiple AI clients shared access to one local SQLite memory database through file-level pointers. It records source identity, bi-temporal timestamps, supersession chains, conflict decisions, and a hash-chained audit trail. Install it when agents need common memory that can be corrected and reviewed without cloud storage or a sync service. Keyword and BM25 retrieval work by default, while optional local embeddings add semantic search.
