cortexgraph
cortexgraph is an MCP server, listed under memory & vectors. Its repository has 37 GitHub stars and is licensed under AGPL-3.0; we last read it on 2026-10-27.
Cortexgraph is a temporal memory system for AI assistants that mimics human forgetting curves. It stores data locally in human-readable formats (JSONL for short-term memory and Markdown for long-term, Obsidian-compatible). Memories decay over time unless reinforced. It integrates with knowledge graphs, smart prompting, and the MCP server for Claude.
Install
Read from cortexgraph’s own README, close to verbatim -- not written by us, and not guessed.
pip install cortexgraph

What it connects to
Unverified means a mention in the server’s own description, not a citation. A wrong claim here costs nothing to correct and nothing to trust yet.
Maintenance
Temporal memory system for AI assistants with human-like forgetting curves. All data stored locally in human-readable formats: JSONL for short-term memory, Markdown (Obsidian-compatible) for long-term. Memories naturally decay unless reinforced. Features knowledge graphs, smart prompting, and MCP server integration for Claude.
