Local-first memory for AI agents: SQLite FTS5, deterministic recall, no vector DB, no cloud.

Local-first memory layer for AI agents. It provides deterministic recall backed by SQLite FTS5, with no vector database and no cloud components. The server is focused on storing and retrieving agent memory within a local environment.

🛠️ Key Features

Local-first memory for AI agents
SQLite FTS5 for search/indexing
Deterministic recall
No vector DB
No cloud

🚀 Use Cases

Storing and retrieving memory for AI agents locally
Keyword/search-oriented agent memory using SQLite FTS5
Use cases requiring deterministic (repeatable) recall

⚡ Developer Benefits

Simple local persistence approach using SQLite FTS5
Deterministic recall behavior for consistent retrieval
Avoids vector database and cloud dependencies

⚠️ Limitations

Designed without a vector database
Designed without cloud functionality
