Hippocampus is an open-source, self-hosted MCP memory server that provides persistent, cross-platform memory for AI assistants. Deploy once and connect to multiple AI platforms such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, and Perplexity, enabling them to share and recall context seamlessly. It uses a knowledge graph with local embeddings and encrypts the database at rest.
