24 alternatives to Mwe-MCP – self-hosted memory for AI agents that knows who may know what
Hi HN, for about a year now I've been experimenting with AI agents and building my own home ecosystem; from the start I set out with the idea of an agent that behaves like a member of the family, not as a personal agent, and this made me clash very early first with OpenClaw's builtin memory, then I tested dozens of memory plugins without ever finding one that fit my purpose, so like any good builder I made my own. First on OpenClaw, as a plugin, then the idea matured and since the beginning of this year the memory plugin has evolved into an agent agnostic MCP server. It has been running my…

Hey HN, I spent my xmas break building an agent framework called mcp-agent [1](https://github.com/lastmile-ai/mcp-agent) for Model Context Protocol [2]. It makes it easy to build AI apps with MCP servers, and implements every pattern from the popular Building Effective Agents blog [3] as well as OpenAI’s Swarm [4]. I’m sharing it early to get community feedback on where to take it from here, and to ask for contributions. For those who aren’t familiar with MCP, I think of it as a standardized interface to let AI communicate with software via tool calls, resources and…

Most of the MCP servers that I’ve seen are tools implemented in standalone projects. To onboard more tools (especially agents and multi-agent workflows) to MCP, I’ve been thinking it’s important to allow AI engineers to continue to prototype in their existing agent frameworks and deploy with minimal conversion when ready. We created the automcp library, which you can add as a dependency to existing projects (CrewAI, LangGraph, Llama Index, OpenAI Agents SDK, Pydantic AI, mcp-agent currently supported but more coming soon). You just need to run a CLI command to create a run_mcp.py file, make…

Today we're releasing Nanobot an open-source framework for building AI agents on top of the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP servers are a great way to expose structured tools, but they’re usually just that—collections of functions. Nanobot makes it simple to wrap any MCP server with reasoning, a system prompt, and orchestration so it behaves like a real agent. Even better, Nanobot fully supports MCP-UI, so agents can pass rich interactive components (forms, dashboards, even mini-apps) directly into chat. A simple example: if you had a Blackjack MCP server with tools like deal, bet, and…

We built a Rust MCP server, which wraps the excellent headless terminal (HT)[1] to makes it available for agentic coding tools. Most agentic coding tools struggle with blocking, interactive terminal tools (all the boilerplate generator, infra CLI tools etc). This is because many existing CLI dev tools are built for humans and require interactive input. We built this so agentic coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Memex, etc) can “see” and “interact” with terminals exactly like humans do. In our demo video [2], you'll see it operating vim/emacs just as a human would - selecting options,…

Hi HN, I'm excited to share Latitude Agents—the first autonomous agent platform built for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With Latitude Agents, you can design, evaluate, and deploy self-improving AI agents that integrate directly with your tools and data. We've been working on agents for a while, and continue to be impressed by the things they can do. When we learned about the Model Context Protocol, we knew it was the missing piece to enable truly autonomous agents. MCP servers were first thought out as an extension for local AI tools (i.e Claude Desktop) so they aren't easily hostable in…

So I've been building ClawMem, an open-source context engine that gives AI coding agents persistent memory across sessions. It works with Claude Code (hooks + MCP) and OpenClaw (ContextEngine plugin + REST API), and both can share the same SQLite vault, so your CLI agent and your voice/chat agent build on the same memory without syncing anything. The retrieval architecture is a Frankenstein, which is pretty much always my process. I pulled the best parts from recent projects and research and stitched them together: [QMD](https://github.com/tobi/qmd) for the…

I’ve been building and using agents heavily lately. The Model Context Protocol ecosystem is growing insanely fast, but discovering and configuring new tools is still highly manual. Every time I needed to connect an agent to a new service, I had to browse registries, figure out the transport type, identify required env vars, and manually update "mcp.json" files. So I built MCPfinder. It aggregates servers from the official MCP registry, Glama, and Smithery (around 25,000 combined entries) into a deduplicated, ranked catalog. But the real twist is the DX: MCPfinder is itself an MCP server :D…

Hello there HN I experimented with agentic coding recently and I felt the need to track more contextual data by project. Also I felt the need to be able to go beyond the 1D chat to communicate with agents. So I created a local document memory, that is discoverable by agents themselves. The CLI is designed to be easy to pick up by agents. It allows humans to collaborate too by reading / searching / editing documents in the store. I have a Mac native GUI in the review process, I hope it will show up in the App Store soon. You can try it easily, instructions here:…

MemoClaw▲6Hey HN, I built MemoClaw, a simple memory service for AI agents. Store and recall memories with semantic search. No registration, no API keys, your wallet address is your identity. How it works: - POST /v1/store → save a memory ($0.001) - POST /v1/recall → semantic search ($0.001) - Payment via x402 protocol (USDC on Base) Why I built this: Every agent framework has its own memory solution, but they're all local or require complex setup. I wanted something like S3 for memories – just call an API and pay for what you use. CLI: `npm install -g memoclaw` Docs:…
