Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Midas vornicx Knowledge & Memory	Codebase Memory MCP DeusData Knowledge & Memory
Summary	Local-first memory for long-horizon AI agents with no LLM at ingest — $0 per message, zero data egress, verbatim source-traceable recall. Typed belief revision, selective forgetting, and a provenance guard that blocks memory-justified destructive actions unless user-confirmed. One midas init wires Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 6 more clients to one shared SQLite memory; local web inspector and hash-chained audit log. Benchmarked on LongMemEval/LoCoMo/BEAM with one-command repros — including published negatives. uvx midas-memory-mcp or npx -y midas-memory-mcp	Code-intelligence engine that indexes a repo into a persistent knowledge graph — functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, cross-service links. 159 languages via tree-sitter + Hybrid LSP, sub-ms structural queries, 99% fewer tokens than grep. Single static binary, zero dependencies, 100% local. npx codebase-memory-mcp
