Memtomem MCP Server

memtomem turns your markdown notes, documents, and code into a searchable knowledge base that any AI coding agent can use. Write notes as plain .md files - memtomem indexes them and makes them searchable by both keywords and meaning. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with bm25, embedding and knowledge management and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
