Persistent, verified memory for coding agents — so they stop re-explaining your codebase and never act on stale knowledge. Every memory is checked against your actual code; lives in your repo as plain files, shared via git. No account, no DB. Install: npx -y @kage-core/kage-graph-mcp install

Generate persistent codebase documentation that agents reference instead of re-asking questions.
Store verified architectural decisions in git so new team members and agents use current knowledge.
Automate memory updates when code changes to prevent agents acting on outdated information.

Below standard — Significant caveats apply. Not recommended without careful review of the security and evaluation sections.

Why it matters

Reduces context loss and hallucination in AI-assisted development by maintaining verified, code-backed memory that persists across sessions without external dependencies or account overhead.

Best for

Engineering teams using coding agents or Claude who need reliable, git-tracked context to avoid redundant explanations and outdated recommendations.
