Tempera vs Moxie Docs MCP
In-depth architectural comparison of the Tempera and Moxie Docs MCP MCP servers. Compare execution transports, security boundaries, tool capabilities, quality scores, and ready-to-paste client installation snippets for Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.
At a Glance & Executive Verdict
Tempera
Knowledge & Memory · Local stdio
Quality: 45/100 (Fair) | Auth: No auth required
Moxie Docs MCP
Knowledge & Memory · Local stdio
Quality: 80/100 (Excellent) | Auth: API Key required
Verdict Summary: Choose Tempera if you need specialized Knowledge & Memory tools running via a local process. Choose Moxie Docs 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 Tempera when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Knowledge & Memory domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: No auth required (Free / Open Source).
Persistent episodic memory for AI coding: capture, retrieve, brief, dream cycle, cross-project.

Tools & Capabilities Breakdown
Tempera Tools (12)
tempera_session_start
Call ONCE at the very start. Returns any clarifying question tempera drafted after a previous failed/partial session in this project.
tempera_brief
Call once the file set is known. Joins pending ask-back, reasoning template, top correction categories for these files, should-have-asked triggers, and calibration warning into one response. Pass `task_type` + `domain` for richer output. Set `cross_project=true` to supplement with rows from other p…
tempera_retrieve
Search for similar past episodes. Set `scope="cross-project"` to include transferable claims from other projects.
tempera_template
Pull the reasoning template stored for a `(task_type, domain)` pair. The step sequence past wins followed.
tempera_log_correction
When the user corrects an assumption / decision / piece of code. Categorized log; the brief surface uses it.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Tempera is categorized under Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Moxie Docs MCP belongs to Knowledge & Memory using local stdio subprocess. Select Tempera when you need capabilities focused on knowledge & memory and Moxie Docs MCP when you require tools for knowledge & memory.
When you realize mid-task you should have asked a question up front. Records the trigger context, the question, and the eventual answer.
tempera_capture
Save session as an episode. Auto-detects session links and runs propagation. The intent-extraction LLM call also suggests a `ValidityScope` for cross-project routing.
tempera_feedback
Mark retrieved episodes as helpful or not. Drives the utility-learning loop.
tempera_status
Per-project memory health snapshot.
tempera_stats
Statistics + trend analytics (helpfulness over time, domain growth, learning curve).
tempera_propagate
Multi-hop Bellman propagation with convergence tracking. Periodic maintenance.
tempera_review
Consolidate similar BKMs, cleanup. Run after related task series.
Moxie Docs MCP Tools (12)
moxie.get_ai_context
Compact pre-edit briefing: repo status, verified commands, top conventions, open gaps, team notes. Read this first.
moxie.get_doc_impact
Given the paths you're about to change (and any you're deleting), returns the conventions, gaps, and existing docs whose evidence overlaps them - and flags net-new/undocumented surfaces.
moxie.get_api_context
Given paths you're about to touch, returns structured context for any API endpoints they map to: method, path, schema, and known consumers/features.
moxie.review_change
Self-review a change before opening the PR; returns a severity-ranked verdict (clean / warnings / must-fix) covering convention breaches, stale docs, undocumented surface, and broken references.
moxie.get_conventions
Discovered coding conventions, grouped by category, with confidence scores, agent guidance, and source-file citations.
moxie.search_docs
Semantic + keyword search over generated docs, conventions, gaps, and AI context.
moxie.get_doc_gaps
Unresolved documentation gaps with severity and the paths they concern.
moxie.get_documentation_opportunities
Recommended doc work: missing docs, drift repairs, and PR templates.
moxie.get_documentation_patterns
How the repository organizes and maintains its docs (where new docs belong).
moxie.list_docs
Paginated, section-grouped table of contents of every generated doc.
moxie.propose_doc_update
Add or update a doc as part of your current change; returns the target path + Markdown to write into your branch.
moxie.propose_doc_removal
Remove a Moxie-tracked doc your change makes obsolete; returns the path to delete in your branch.
