Palinode MCP

Palinode provides an inspectable, correctable project memory system for AI agents. It stores memory in git-versioned Markdown files, allowing agents to save, search, and inspect decisions and their history. It supports correction of records across sessions and worktrees, ensuring that agents do not silently promote unmarked notes to facts.
