agent-library vs fastmcp

agent-library: Agent Library provides AI agents with persistent storage for text, documents, and knowledge using SQLite with vector search (sqlite-vec) and full-text search (FTS5). It supports hybrid search combining semantic and keyword matching, configurable embedding models, and offers both CLI and MCP server interfaces for integration.; fastmcp: FastMCP is a standard framework for building Model Context Protocol (MCP) applications, which connect LLMs to tools and data. It simplifies the process by automatically generating schemas, validation, and documentation for tools, and managing transport negotiation and authentication for server connections. FastMCP offers a comprehensive solution for developing, deploying, and scaling MCP-powered systems.
