Koskamo

frugal-memory MCP

A lightweight, persistent memory server for AI assistants using a single SQLite file with FTS5 full-text search. It avoids vector stores and external services, offering capped, calculable answers and tracking entry overlaps to surface contradictions. It is designed to be cheaper and more transparent than markdown-based or vector-based memory solutions.
