At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Statelessagent
Knowledge & Memory · Local stdio
Quality: 56/100 (Good) | Auth: API Key required
Scrivener MCP
Knowledge & Memory · Local stdio
Quality: 61/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Statelessagent if you need specialized Knowledge & Memory tools running via a local process. Choose Scrivener MCP if your workspace requires Knowledge & Memory integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Statelessagent when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Knowledge & Memory domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: API Key required (Free / Open Source).
Primary tools included: Provenance tracking and stale knowledge detection, Dual-layer memory with atomic fact extraction, 19 MCP tools for session handoffs, decisions, and search.
Memory with provenance tracking — records where agent knowledge originated and detects when sources change. 17 MCP tools for session handoffs, decisions, semantic search, and knowledge graph. Works across Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI. Single Go binary, SQLite + vector search, fully local.
Connect Scrivener 3 writing projects to Claude and other AI assistants. 47 tools for document management, writing analysis, semantic search, character/plot memory, and content enhancement. Progressive skill loading, relationship engine with HMS triplets, and JS fallback for offline semantic search. npm i -g scrivener-mcp
