Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
MCP server for Mendeley reference manager. Search your library, browse folders, get document metadata, search the global catalog, and add papers to your collection.
Self-hosted semantic memory server, served over MCP, for an engineering team's tribal knowledge: the tacit decisions and hard-won reasoning behind the code, captured once and kept queryable for the team and the agents they work with. Postgres-backed (pgvector).
