Agentmem Overview

Thezenmonster/agentmem MCP server gives coding agents local, trust-ranked memory backed by SQLite and FTS5. It stores decisions, bugs, sessions, and other records with lifecycle states from hypothesis through validation or deprecation, while checking for conflicts, stale sources, and memory health. The MCP interface exposes memory operations to Cursor and other MCP clients, and the project also provides Python and CLI interfaces. Reach for it when an agent needs project memory that distinguishes current guidance from outdated or unconfirmed information without external infrastructure.
