Cortex Memory Engine

Overview

Cortex Memory Engine is a Model Context Protocol server that provides a local-first AI memory system with 4-tier memory architecture, people graph, and Bayesian beliefs. It operates entirely on your machine with encryption and responds in microseconds, enabling AI assistants to access persistent, structured memory as callable tools through the MCP protocol.

The server runs locally via Docker using the image ghcr.io/gambletan/cortex:v1.8.0, requiring no authentication or external credentials. Version v1.8.0 is released under the MIT license with source code available at gambletan/cortex on GitHub, where the project has 31 stars.

Cortex Memory Engine belongs to the Memory category on mcp.site and works with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep details current.
