Al Buddy Memory MCP

A portable, governed, model-agnostic memory server for AI agents. It ensures facts are invalidated rather than overwritten, maintains raw text as the source of truth, and provides an auditable, versioned JSON export format. The system supports temporal queries and runs locally on SQLite without requiring vendor keys or cloud dependencies.
