# Engram: persistent memory for MCP-compatible AI agents

Canonical source : [Engram: persistent memory for MCP-compatible AI agents](<https://sebastien.rigaux.be/en/tech-watch/links/engram-persistent-memory-for-mcp-compatible-ai-agents>)

Engram provides **persistent memory** for AI agents, compatible with any agent supporting the MCP protocol (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, VS Code, etc.). The tool runs as a single Go binary with no external dependencies, storing memories in a SQLite file with built-in FTS5 search. It features a TUI, Git sync, and a self-hostable cloud extension, while remaining local-first and open source under the MIT license.
