Memory Arbiter Mcp
About
Share one memory store across all your AI coding tools. Memory Arbiter is a lightweight, fully local MCP Server with built-in dual-timeline conflict arbitration. No cloud, no LLM calls — just SQLite.
Explore
- Shared memory: All tools read/write the same local SQLite database
- Conflict arbitration: Dual-timeline resolution (user-confirmed > event time > source trust > ingest time)
- Locked protection: User-confirmed memories cannot be overwritten by agents
- Zero cloud, zero LLM calls: Pure local SQLite, no Postgres/Redis required
- Graceful degradation: sqlite-vec → FTS5 → LIKE → JSONL backup
