Cortex Memory Engine MCP

A local-first, end-to-end-encrypted memory engine for AI agents that provides persistent cross-session memory. It features a 4-tier memory system, people graph, and Bayesian beliefs, running entirely on-device with zero telemetry. The server enables agents like Claude to retain context across sessions without relying on cloud services.
