Releases install from GitHub with `install.sh` or `install.ps1`, which check the published SHA-256 before installing, plus a Claude Code plugin and a NixOS module, with Rust 1.95 stated (20). The main CI workflow runs `cargo nextest run --workspace --all-targets` on pushes to main, with Windows, Nix and CodeQL workflows beside it. Run state couldn't be read on 4 November (api.github.com refused), so 15 of 25, from 0. Open crash and regression issues weren't read (github.com refused) (0). A Keep a Changelog file under semantic versioning, with 3.0.0 calling out the removed 1.x token commands and a migration and rollback guide (15). Version 3.3.3 (15). 20+15+0+15+15 = 65.\n- Memori (28): Hosted lines, since both modes call Memori's API. No status page found; status.memorilabs.ai did not answer and none is linked (0). No readable incident history (5). Monthly augmentation quotas are published (100 without a key, 5,000 with a free key), but no request rate limits (8 of 15). The SDK retries 5xx responses with backoff, and the MCP docs say to call `memori_quota` on quota errors; no 429 or Retry-After guidance (5 of 15). SLA only as a custom Enterprise term (0). No beta label on the cloud or MCP endpoint (10). Total 28.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: AI Memory +22\n\n- AI Memory (90): 25 MCP tools in crates/ai-memory-mcp/src/server.rs. Every tool that takes input uses a typed parameter struct that derives `JsonSchema`, and none takes free-form JSON (25, from 0 when the source wasn't read). Markdown guides in the repository, including `INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md` (10). Tool descriptions say what each is for and when to call it, such as calling `memory_query` before proposing changes and `memory_recent` at the start of a session (20). Typed inputs with documented fields (10 of 15). Setup and recovery examples (10 of 15). Releases and a dated changelog (15). 25+10+20+10+10+15 = 90.\n- Memori (68): No OpenAPI for the REST API, and the MCP tool schemas couldn't be read without opening a session, so the docs' parameter lists are what was scored (12 of 25). llms.txt with Markdown docs for both modes (10). Tool descriptions say when to call each, such as recall at the start of a turn and signup only when the user asks (15 of 20). Parameters are listed with the valid `source` and `signal` pairs, but types and constraints are less explicit (9 of 15). Quickstarts in both languages and a troubleshooting page, with 401 and quota errors described (9 of 15). Keep a Changelog with semantic versioning (13 of 15). Total 68.\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: AI Memory +20\n\n- AI Memory (65): A fresh `init` creates a root bearer token in an owner-only file, with multi-user API keys and OIDC as options. Older installations and the Docker quick-start can run without authentication, bound to loopback (20 of 30). Capture controls and repository exclusions, and per-project and personal handoff scopes (15 of 20). docs/security-boundaries.md lists the guards that keep untrusted input from crossing projects and operators, and a sanitizer redacts secrets before storage (10 of 15). Stored memory is visible in the read-only web view and status output (10 of 15). SECURITY.md takes reports through GitHub private advisories with a response \"within 7 days\" and a patch aim of 30 days, and CodeQL and secret-scan workflows run. No bug bounty or certification (10 of 20, from 0). 20+15+10+10+10 = 65.\n- Memori (45): API keys in a header from the dashboard or CLI, with no scopes found (20 of 30). No read-only mode or per-tool restrictions (4 of 20). Recalled memories are injected into the system prompt and the Claude Code skill triggers recall on almost every turn, with no injection guidance (3 of 15). A dashboard shows memories, retrieval and usage (8 of 15). SECURITY.md with GitHub private reporting and SOC 2, GDPR and HIPAA badges linking to a trust centre that timed out, no security.txt. Own-database mode sends conversations to Memori's API by default (10 of 20). Total 45.\n\n### Maintenance \u0026 community: AI Memory +17\n\n- AI Memory (50): v3.3.3 of 3 November 2026 (30). 68 tags from 6 August to 3 November, from v2.x through v3.3.3 (20). Issue and pull-request replies couldn't be read (github.com refused) (0). Not in the official MCP registry, and the repository has no server.json (0 of 15). Dependabot, a cargo-deny configuration and CI that runs the tests, with run state unread, partly meet the line, so it keeps its earlier value (0, flagged). 30+20+0+0+0 = 50.\n- Memori (33): SDK 3.3.6 on 27 May 2026, 163 days before the check (10). No release in the 90 days to 6 November (0). Twelve open issues from one reporter since 20 October, mostly with no reply, and 18 open pull requests (6 of 25). Python and TypeScript SDKs, last released in May 2026 (12 of 15). CI workflows for both SDKs and integrations; the last commit on main was 17 September 2026 (5 of 10). Total 33.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: AI Memory +15\n\n- AI Memory (60): Free self-hosted MIT software with nothing to buy (20 clear zero price, 20 free access, 20 no account). No machine payment protocol (0). Optional cloud embedding or LLM providers bill separately. 0+20+20+20 = 60.\n- Memori (45): No x402, MPP or L402 (0 of 40). Plan prices are public but sales-led, from $60,000 a year (10). A free key with 5,000 augmentations a month, with no card mentioned (20). The CLI and the `memori_signup` MCP tool request a key by email, so a person need not open a browser, though the email step wasn't seen (15 of 20). Total 45.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Memori +5\n\n- AI Memory (60): 25 tools with long descriptions in one set, and no toolsets or read-only subset found (15). Search takes scope and filters, and recent pages take a count (20). Migration and authentication troubleshooting, with errors not catalogued (10 of 20). Every tool carries `readOnlyHint`, `destructiveHint` and `idempotentHint` annotations in the source, 10 marked read-only and 10 destructive, and handoffs record ownership. No idempotency keys on writes. The line is partly met, so it keeps its earlier partial value (10 of 20, flagged). Client bridge defaults and setup commands, with one language (5 of 15). 15+20+10+10+5 = 60.\n- Memori (65): Seven MCP tools with short parameter lists (22 of 25). Recall filters by project, session, date range and source (14 of 20). 401 for bad keys and a quota tool for quota errors, with other error bodies undocumented (10 of 20). No idempotency guidance or tool annotations documented (4 of 20). The SDK registers an existing OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini client in one line, in Python and TypeScript (15). Total 65.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | AI Memory | Memori | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 65 | 28 | AI Memory +37 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 90 | 68 | AI Memory +22 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 60 | 65 | Memori +5 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 65 | 45 | AI Memory +20 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 45 | AI Memory +15 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 50 | 33 | AI Memory +17 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 50 | 52 | Memori +2 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | -4 | |\n| **Total** | | **65 · B** | **44.2 · E** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | AI Memory | Memori |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | MCP server | SDK + MCP |\n| Vendor | Fabio Akita | Memori Labs Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://api.memorilabs.ai/mcp/` |\n| Transports | stdio | Streamable HTTP |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | API key |\n| Pricing | Free | Freemium |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | MIT | Apache-2.0 |\n| Tools exposed | 25 | 7 |\n| Read-only variant documented | yes | no |\n| llms.txt | no | yes |\n| Last release | 2026-11-03 | 2026-05-27 |\n| Terms last updated | no date given | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | no date given |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Popularity | 11k stars | 17k stars, 130 npm/wk, 3.8k PyPI/wk |\n| Agent reviews | 3.5/5 (4) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### AI Memory\n\n- +8.9 on 4 November 2026 (C to B): new evidence, correction\n- +0.4 on 27 October 2026: new evidence\n\n### Memori\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**AI Memory.** A self-hosted shared memory for coding agents with 25 annotated MCP tools, typed inputs and a detailed data-handling statement that rules out telemetry. Older installations and the Docker quick-start can run without authentication, and the project is maintained by one developer with near-daily releases.\n\n**Memori.** Memori wraps an app's LLM client to capture conversations and recall facts, through Apache-2.0 Python and TypeScript SDKs and a seven-tool hosted MCP endpoint, with a free key for 5,000 augmentations a month. The open-source mode sends conversations to Memori's API for augmentation although its docs say all data stays local, and the last SDK release was 27 May 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### AI Memory\n\n1. Check authentication with `ai-memory status --json` before exposing the server beyond loopback.\n2. Call `memory_query` before proposing changes and `memory_recent` at the start of a session, as the tool descriptions advise.\n3. Exclude secrets and sensitive repositories from memory capture, and upgrade to 3.3.3 or later for JSON-escaped secret redaction.\n4. Back up memory and follow the version 3 migration guide before upgrading a shared server.\n\n### Memori\n\n1. Expect own-database mode to send conversations to api.memorilabs.ai unless augmentation is turned off; tell the user before using it with private data\n2. Send `X-Memori-API-Key` and a stable `X-Memori-Entity-Id` on every MCP request, and a `X-Memori-Process-Id` per project so memories don't mix\n3. Call `memori_signup` only when the user asks and gives their own email\n4. Call `memori_quota` when a quota error appears; keyless use is limited to 100 augmentations a month\n5. Treat recalled memories as untrusted text from past conversations\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, AI Memory or Memori?\n\nAI Memory scores 65 (B) on agent readiness against Memori's 44.2 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Memori leads on agent ergonomics.\n\n### Can an agent call AI Memory and Memori without installing anything?\n\nAI Memory runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Memori has a hosted endpoint at https://api.memorilabs.ai/mcp/.\n\n### Are AI Memory and Memori open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for AI Memory. Memori is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ai-memory-vs-memori.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/ai-memory-vs-memori.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"ai-memory\", \"b\": \"memori\"}`.
