Cortex Claude
Memory that remembers what matters.
Cortex Claude gives Claude Code persistent memory through a local MCP server. Instead of dumping everything into context, it uses progressive recall — a 3-layer system (facts → summaries → full content) that returns only what's relevant, cutting tokens by ~66%. Zero network, zero cost.
$ pip install cortex-claude What it does
Progressive recall
3-layer retrieval stops at the cheapest layer that answers — facts, then summaries, then full content.
Knowledge graph
Extracts structured subject–relation–object facts from your memories and code.
66% fewer tokens
Returns only what matters, not the whole history — on average two-thirds lighter.
Fully local
SQLite + local embeddings + local NLP. No API calls, no network, no cost.
