Engram is an MCP server that provides persistent, Git-aware session memory for coding agents, allowing structured handoffs between sessions and branches. It helps agents retain context, decisions, and tasks, backed by local SQLite and ONNX embeddings without cloud dependencies.

Features
01Provides Git-aware session memory that scopes context to specific git branches, preventing information leakage.
02Enables structured session handoffs to capture summaries, decisions, todos, blockers, and mental models for continuity.
03Offers local-first persistent storage using SQLite and ONNX embeddings, ensuring no cloud or LLM calls are needed for storage.
04Features advanced memory retrieval with hybrid scoring (cosine, recency, importance), hierarchical clustering, and branch-aware queries.
05Includes automated memory management capabilities such as decay, semantic deduplication, and auto-pruning of low-relevance memories.

Use cases
↳Developers can capture session state and structured notes (decisions, todos, blockers) at the end of a coding session for seamless handover.
↳Automatically retrieve relevant context and prior session details when resuming work on the same or a different Git branch.
↳LLM agents can proactively load relevant memories at the start of a conversation, building context from recent Git activity.
↳Passively capture coding decisions and session summaries into memory through integrated hooks without explicit tool calls.
↳Maintain a centralized, searchable, and structured memory of project-specific decisions, recurring patterns, and past debug solutions.
