Cortex
Cortex is a cross-platform persistent-memory MCP server for Codex, Gemini CLI, Claude Code, and other local MCP hosts. It stores and retrieves agent memories locally using SQLite or PostgreSQL, with hybrid retrieval, decay-based consolidation, and reproducible benchmarks.
Overview
10 featuresIn the Memory & skills space, Cortex takes a focused approach. It focuses on giving local AI coding agents persistent, searchable memory across sessions. Cortex is an open-source project aimed at developers building or using local AI coding agents. It runs on the web, the command line, and API, and it can be self-hosted.
cdeust builds and maintains Cortex. Key capabilities include persistent memory, MCP server, and SQLite storage. It exposes integrations via an MCP server.
