Piia Engram runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 1 618 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 1 Nov 2026.
Local-first AI identity for MCP coding tools. Lessons, decisions, and context you control.

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above:
ENGRAM_MCP_STARTUP_SYNC (Kept for compatibility; has no effect. The server never imports other AI tools' memories at start (the user runs engram import-memories for that)), ENGRAM_TOOLS (Expose the context-budget friendly default surface; set to all for the full advanced surface), PYTHONIOENCODING (Force UTF-8 stdio frames on Windows-style consoles).
Local-first AI context and memory server for cross-tool coding continuity.
Context and control for any AI. Agent identity, scoped access, and proof across tools.
Local-first memory for coding agents; stores decisions, bugs, and context across sessions.
Local-first persistent context memory MCP server for AI coding agents.
Local context and engineering evidence for AI coding agents.
Persistent memory, coordination, and learning for AI agents. Local-first, 25 MCP tools.
Local-first architecture guardrails and project context for JS/TS AI coding agents.
Local memory for coding AIs: search past conversations and decisions from the original text.
