Target Reference Server

Mnemos Overview

This server provides a persistent, autopilot memory engine for AI coding agents, compiling a structured knowledge base of project information without manual prompts. It runs as a single Go binary with embedded SQLite and supports MCP stdio transport. It automates memory quality gating, deduplication, summarization, file linking, and context assembly within token budgets, maintaining relevance with a background daemon. Use it to enable coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Kiro to remember architecture decisions, bug causes, and conventions across sessions without manual memory management.
