cogvault MCP

A local, hybrid-search memory server for AI agents that indexes plain Markdown files. It provides deterministic, offline retrieval using SQLite and FastEmbed without requiring an LLM in the loop. The server supports multi-tenant isolation and allows agents to recall decisions, bug fixes, or infrastructure details from a persistent, readable source of truth.
