Palinode open-sources an agent memory MCP server built on a git repo of markdown files
Cosmo_7 · reddit · 2026-09-03
A new MIT-licensed project, Palinode, decouples agent memory from client apps: one MCP server (stdio or streamable HTTP) backed by a git repo of markdown files, shareable across Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client. Key design choices: the store is plain markdown so grep/git blame work on memory; recall is tool calls, not context injection; the LLM never writes files directly (JSON ops validated and git-committed by a deterministic executor); diff/blame/rollback are first-class agent tools; memories carry epistemic status labels and verifiable hash citations. Runs fully local with BGE-M3 via Ollama, sqlite-vec + FTS5 search. The author also extracted a vendor-neutral spec with a conformance suite for checkable-memory fields.
