## Which one, for what

### Graphicle (B)

Good for: A developer who wants one local tool that gives Claude Code, Codex or Cursor both code structure and project memory with citations.

Ahead on:
- Reliability, 63 against 30
- Agent ergonomics, 86 against 63
- Security & auth, 69 against 45
- Payments & pricing, 60 against 50
- Transparency & trust, 68 against 60

Also in its favour:
- Runs on your own machine

Watch for: One release, v0.1.0 on 14 October 2026, from a repository created that day

### Mem0 Platform + MCP (C)

Good for: Chat products that want per-user facts back with one search call and little setup.

Ahead on:
- Maintenance & community, 85 against 48

Also in its favour:
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install

Watch for: Free Plan data is used to train Mem0's models, per the privacy policy of 22 August 2026

## Verdicts

**Graphicle.** One local program gives a coding agent a code graph and project memory through 25 typed, annotated MCP tools that return cited excerpts within a token budget, with agent-written memories held for human approval. It is one day old at version 0.1.0, its SDKs are not on any registry, and the licence and advisory check fails on main.

**Mem0 Platform + MCP.** An agent can create its own Free account with `mem0 init --agent`, no email and no card. Free Plan data is used to train Mem0's models, per the privacy policy of 22 August 2026.

## Before you call either

### Graphicle

1. Call `recall_project` with a `max_tokens` budget, then `read_project_source` with the cited id and byte offset to continue a cut excerpt
2. Use `query_graph`, `get_neighbors` and `shortest_path` for structure questions, and pass `repo` to reach another synced project
3. Treat proposed memories as drafts. They are not served until a person approves them in `graphicle open` under Memory
4. Ask the user before running `graphicle setup`, which edits agent settings, AGENTS.md and Git hooks, and use `graphicle disconnect` to undo it
5. Over HTTP send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`, never in the URL, and on 429 wait for the Retry-After reset

### Mem0 Platform + MCP

1. Send the REST key as `Authorization: Token <key>`, and the MCP key as Bearer
2. Don't search for a memory straight after adding it. Adds are queued, so poll get_event_status with the returned event ID
3. Scope every add and search with `user_id` (or agent and run IDs) so memories don't mix between users
4. Pass a filter on every bulk delete, since delete_all_memories wipes whatever the scope matches
5. On Hobby and Starter, count retrievals rather than adds. The retrieval quota is a tenth the size
