Memex (stifler7) MCP Server

A daemon and MCP server that turns every commit and every file change into structured graph state: modules, symbols, decisions, problems, lockfile facts. Sessions stop starting blind. Agents stop re-discovering the same refactor every time you /clear. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
