Shodh Memory Overview

varun29ankuS/shodh-memory MCP server gives AI agents persistent local memory, semantic retrieval, reminders, and GTD-style task tracking. It stores and searches information without an LLM or external database, using local embeddings, graph relationships, memory decay, and usage-based strengthening. Reach for it when an agent needs context across sessions, offline operation, or a combined memory-and-todo workspace. Local use does not require an API key.

Primary Use Cases for Shodh Memory:
  • Remember project decisions across agent sessions
  • Recall user preferences and prior context
  • Track todos, projects, reminders, and recurring work
  • Back up and restore an agent's local memory
