agentmemory is an open-source persistent memory layer for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, etc.) that uses knowledge graphs, confidence scoring, and hybrid search to give agents long-term memory across sessions via MCP, hooks, or REST API. Built on the iii engine, it requires no external databases and exposes 51 MCP tools.
