An open-source tool called MegaMemory aims to solve one of the most persistent frustrations with AI coding assistants: their tendency to forget everything the moment a session ends. Built as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, MegaMemory maintains a durable project knowledge graph inside a local SQLite database, letting coding agents carry an understanding of a codebase's concepts, structure and decisions across sessions.

MegaMemory: giving AI coding agents a memory that survives the session

An MIT-licensed, local-first tool that stores a project's concepts, structure and decisions in a durable knowledge graph — so coding agents stop forgetting everything the moment a session ends.

What draws interest

Context preserved between sessions — less re-explaining a project
Local-first SQLite store in WAL mode with soft-delete history
Native MCP integration for opencode, Claude Code, Antigravity, Codex
Branch merge with conflict resolution + built-in graph visualizer

Still unproven

Reception driven by community interest, not formal benchmarks
Concrete user evaluations and reliability reports remain limited
Rough edges likely to surface through issues and contributions
Competes with agentmemory, Cognee and Graphiti for adoption
