dory vs unraid-mcp

dory: Dory is a local-first memory daemon that gives every AI agent the same brain. It uses Markdown as source of truth and SQLite as a disposable sidecar, providing a narrow API for agents to read and write shared memory. This eliminates the need to re-explain context across different tools like Claude, Codex, opencode, etc.; unraid-mcp: This MCP server translates tool calls into Unraid GraphQL queries and mutations over HTTP and WebSocket. It provides a comprehensive set of actions for system inspection, health checks, array management, Docker, VM, notifications, and more. Destructive operations require explicit confirmation to prevent accidents.
