memex vs fastmcp

memex: memex provides persistent memory for AI coding agents using atomic knowledge cards with bidirectional links. It stores insights from each session and recalls relevant cards before starting new tasks, enabling agents to build on previous knowledge. No vector database or embeddings needed—just markdown files.; 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.
