Gemdex MCP Server

Save a useful memory once and recall it across repos and sessions. Gemdex indexes small chunks for precise hybrid semantic + BM25 matching, then resolves matches to whole parent memories. MCP agents scan a cheap title index and open only the memories they need. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with agent memory, ai coding assistant and developer tools and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
