Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Threadctx MCP threadctx-dev Knowledge & Memory	Entroly juyterman1000 Knowledge & Memory
Summary	Shared team memory for AI coding agents. Decisions, fixes, and gotchas persist per repo and are shared across Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client — what one teammate's agent learns, everyone's agents remember. Local-first, zero-dependency. npx -y threadctx-mcp	Auditable context control plane and MCP server for AI coding agents. Compresses context 70–95% (BM25 + entropy + dep-graph knapsack), stabilizes prompt prefixes for provider cache discounts, routes easy tasks to cheaper models (RAVS Bayesian router), and verifies answers locally with WITNESS hallucination guard (0.844 AUROC, $0, 3 ms). MemoryOS adds local budget-aware working/episodic/semantic memory with decay, safety scanning, and durable persistence. 38 agent integrations (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Aider, and more). Ships as MCP server (entroly serve), HTTP proxy, or Python/Rust library. Apache-2.0, local-first. pip install entroly
