Vestige MCP Server
A bleeding-edge Rust MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for Vestige - providing Claude and other AI assistants with long-term memory capabilities.
Features
- FSRS-6 Algorithm: State-of-the-art spaced repetition (21 parameters, personalized decay)
- Dual-Strength Memory Model: Based on Bjork & Bjork 1992 cognitive science research
- Local Semantic Embeddings: nomic-embed-text-v1.5 (768d) via fastembed v5 (no external API)
- HNSW Vector Search: USearch-based, 20x faster than FAISS
- Hybrid Search: BM25 + semantic with RRF fusion
- Codebase Memory: Remember patterns, decisions, and context

Example Usage (with Claude)
User: Remember that we decided to use FSRS-6 instead of SM-2 because it's 20-30% more efficient.
Claude: [calls remember_decision]
I've recorded that architectural decision.
User: What decisions have we made about algorithms?
Claude: [calls get_codebase_context]
I found 1 decision:
- We decided to use FSRS-6 instead of SM-2 because it's 20-30% more efficient.
