Koskamo

memory-lean MCP

A token-lean MCP memory server for AI coding agents that uses a knowledge graph to provide long-term memory. It acts as a drop-in replacement for the reference memory server, offering search capabilities that return ranked lists of names and matching lines, resulting in answers approximately 40 times smaller than the reference implementation. It includes a web UI for viewing and editing the graph, supports multiple agents, and operates with plain local files and zero dependencies.
