hmem vs lightdash_mcp

hmem: hmem is a memory system for AI agents that persists project context across sessions, devices, and AI providers. It uses a 5-level lazy loading architecture to minimize token usage while retaining full details. It supports auto-logging, background checkpoints, and cross-platform sync.; lightdash_mcp: Lightdash MCP Server allows AI assistants to interact with Lightdash analytics via the Model Context Protocol. It enables data discovery, chart creation, dashboard management, and ad-hoc querying programmatically. The server is installable via pip and integrates with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
