The best-benchmarked open-source memory system for AI coding assistants

IAI-MCP is a local memory layer for MCP-compatible AI assistants. It captures every conversation turn verbatim, organizes them over time, and serves relevant memories at the start of new sessions. All data is encrypted locally with AES-256-GCM and never leaves your machine.

Works with AI coding assistants as a drop-in memory layer.

Good for developers who want memory that's been rigorously evaluated, not just built.

Benchmark-driven development means performance is measured, not assumed.
