The best-benchmarked open-source memory system for AI coding assistants. Your Claude or Openclaw will remember everything and you wont have to remind it what happened every session

Hi everyone, I'm Areg.
I built iai-mcp because every memory tool I tried for AI coding
assistants either forgot details I cared about or made me babysit
what was worth remembering. I wanted neither.
What it does:
- Captures every turn of every session verbatim — byte-exact, not
summarized — the moment the session ends. No "remember this"
commands.
- Consolidates during idle time into three tiers: episodic
(write-once), semantic (induced summaries from clusters),
procedural (sealed self-tuning knobs).
- Surfaces a small relevant slice of your history at the start of
each new session automatically.
- Runs as a local daemon, encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM), zero
telemetry.
The thing I care about most: every performance claim in the README
ships with a runnable benchmark in `bench/`. Verbatim recall,
latency, RAM, token cost, contradiction handling — all of it.
Don't trust the numbers, rerun them on your machine.
I've been running this daily for months. Validated end-to-end with
Claude Code and OpenClaw. macOS only for now (Apple Silicon
tested), Linux/Windows on the way.

Happy to answer anything — architecture choices, the three-tier
model, why the graph layer doesn't move the needle on session-shot
retrieval benchmarks (long story), or implementation gotchas.
