Local-first MCP memory server: SQLite, FTS5 and vector search, AES-256-GCM. 49 tools, no cloud.
Local-first MCP memory server: SQLite, FTS5 and vector search, AES-256-GCM. 49 tools, no cloud. That is what the perseus vault (formerly mimir/mneme), persistent memory engine for ai agents mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Give your agents memory that survives the session, so they stop re-deriving what they already learned and stop repeating past mistakes. Hybrid recall (BM25 + dense + RRF), bi-temporal history, and AES-256-GCM at rest, exposed as 65 canonical MCP tools that work with any host. Legacy mimir_* and mneme_* aliases remain callable but are not counted separately. 73.8% on LongMemEval's official harness (vs Zep 63.8%, Mem0 49.0%). One binary. One file. No Docker. No Postgres. No cloud. Local-first, air-gap ready, MIT.
Because this one is hosted, setup is mostly authentication — you point your client at the endpoint and approve access. Nothing runs on your machine, so there is no runtime to keep patched.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
Graph — The Graph tool exposed by this serverJournal — The Journal tool exposed by this serverState — The State tool exposed by this serverLifecycle — The Lifecycle tool exposed by this serverQuality — The Quality tool exposed by this serverThis sits in the knowledge and memory group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Perseus Vault (Formerly Mimir/Mneme), Persistent Memory Engine For AI Agents's toolset — Graph, Journal, State and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Perseus-Computing-LLC; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| Graph | The Graph tool exposed by this server. |

| Quality | The Quality tool exposed by this server. |
A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
