verbative-memory

verbative-memory

On-device memory system for AI coding agents — a dual-layer engine (distilled facts + a lossless event ledger), automatically captured and injected, exposed over MCP. Shared across agents, persistent across sessions; stored as human-readable files in your repo. No memory cloud, no vendor database.

Install (any MCP client)

Claude Code CLI:

claude mcp add verbative-memory -- npx -y verbative-memory

Cursor / Windsurf / Gemini CLI (mcp.json style):

{ "mcpServers": { "verbative-memory": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "verbative-memory"] } } }

VS Code (Copilot MCP):

{
  "servers": {
    "verbative-memory": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "verbative-memory"] }
  }
}

First run downloads the on-device engine + models (~4 GB, one time). After that: zero network. Tools exposed: remember, search, list, pin, forget, edit_core, feedback, and more.

Benchmarked on LongMemEval (retrieval protocol) — see https://verbative.de/memory for current numbers.
