Products that do what AI memory and project management (open source) does
Hey HN, I'm Namanyay and I've been using Cursor since 2 years, but it seems to make mistakes as the project size grows. This caused me to have to repeat myself a lot and it used to break my flow. I realized it's because Cursor (and other AI tools) are not able to keep an overview of the project. Plus, Cursor does not have a "memory" layer to remember important things that the user has already mentioned. I solved this by building an open-source MCP which maintains project and memory information within the user's file system. It's simple and installation takes 30 seconds. Github:…

While Cursor is picking off and a lot of developers trying it out. I believe that a vast amount of beginners still struggle with a lot of basics and how to use the app. So I have compiled a few demos from the docs, and X tweets, and recorded a few myself so beginners can see how the cursor works. The website is open source, and my first time contributing, so if there are any mistakes or improvements to be made please let me know! thanks :)

Hi HN! I'm building Hopsule. If you use AI coding tools like Cursor, Copilot, or Claude, you’ve probably seen this happen: The AI writes good code - but it ignores your architecture. It doesn’t know: - why you chose a specific pattern - which conventions your team agreed on - which decisions are already locked in So it falls back to generic patterns, outdated examples, or random GitHub training data. Over time this slowly breaks the consistency of the codebase. Most teams try to fix this with: - giant Markdown files - wiki pages - long prompts - Slack threads But those aren't…

Hi HN! I'm Noah, an ordinary guy that got really interested in MCP about a month ago when I downloaded Cursor. It's been super exciting to see companies around the world launch their own MCP servers empowering AI to do more. Unfortunately, I got a bit overwhelmed setting up MCP servers across my clients like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Claude Code, so I figured I'd take a shot at building an open-source tool to help others and myself! So yeah, I built a CLI tool that enables you to quickly get MCP servers from the Web integrated with your clients like Cursor and Claude Desktop. You can use…

Hey HN, I pay for ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and use Gemini through work. Four vendors, four separate conversation histories, four profiles of how I think. None of them talk to each other. Switch providers and you start over. So I built a system where the memory is mine. I run a knowledge graph in Postgres (Supabase, free tier) with pgvector for semantic search. A small MCP server reads and writes to it. That server sits behind an MCP Gateway on a $6/month VPS, along with Brave Search and a GitHub server. TypingMind connects to the gateway as a BYOK client -- any model, any device, same…

Hey HN! One of the biggest limitations of tools like Cursor is that they only have context over the project you have open. We built this MCP to allow you to fetch code context from all of your repos. It uses Sourcebot under the hood, an open source code search tool that supports indexing thousands of repos from multiple platforms. The MCP server leverages Sourcebot's index to rapidly fetch relevant code snippets and inject it into your agents context. Some use cases this unlocks include: - Finding all references of an API across your companies repos to allow the agent to provide accurate…

Hey HN! We're Vasilije, Laszlo and Lazar, the authors of a new paper and part of https://www.cognee.ai. cognee let’s you build memory layers for AI applications and agents, allowing them to personalize results, connect various data sources, and add custom rules. This enables AI apps to deliver increasingly accurate responses, we reached almost 90% on standard industry benchmarks as you can see here https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee/tree/main/evals and our paper can be accessed at: https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.24478 and collab…

Hey Everyone, I'm neither the founder or affiliated with these guys. But when they showed me the product it really clicked a switch. I have been building products with AI since sonnet 4.0, and one of my issue, like many, consistency. Hopsule turns architecture decisions into enforceable context that AI tools must follow. Creates trackable, tasks which can be feed into your AI tools to do compound engineering. If you're building with Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot. You can use their CLI or MCP.
