Which one, for what
Graphicle BB
Best 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 51
- Schema & documentation, 83 against 61
- Agent ergonomics, 86 against 68
- Security & auth, 69 against 30
Also in its favour
- Agent-ready, a grade of BB or better
- Runs on your own machine
Watch for
One release, v0.1.0 on 14 October 2026, from a repository created that day
Best for Small teams that run several coding agents on a host they control and want shared, permissioned memory, skills and code context injected through a proxy.
Ahead on
- Maintenance & community, 70 against 48
Watch for
The core's bearer gate is off by default, and the deploy notes say enabling it breaks the proxy's auth and session setup

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.
TencentDB Agent Memory
A self-hosted team memory stack with layered recall, per-asset visibility and ACLs, documented HTTP APIs and frequent releases, 2.0.0 to 2.0.3 since August. The default deployment publishes its ports on all host interfaces with the core's bearer gate off, data-plane deletes trust a service-ID header, and the proxy's rate-limit and session admin routes have no authentication.
Before you call either
Graphicle
- Call
recall_projectwith amax_tokensbudget, thenread_project_sourcewith the cited id and byte offset to continue a cut excerpt - Use
query_graph,get_neighborsandshortest_pathfor structure questions, and passrepoto reach another synced project - Treat proposed memories as drafts. They are not served until a person approves them in
graphicle openunder Memory - Ask the user before running
graphicle setup, which edits agent settings, AGENTS.md and Git hooks, and usegraphicle disconnectto undo it - Over HTTP send the key as
Authorization: Bearer, never in the URL, and on 429 wait for the Retry-After reset
TencentDB Agent Memory
- Set
MEMORY_CORE_GATEWAY_API_KEY,KNOWLEDGE_SERVICE_KEYand a non-default admin key before exposing ports 8420, 8424, 8096 or 8125 beyond the host - In headless runs send
x-team-id,x-agent-idandx-task-idheaders to the proxy. Without all three it falls back to an interactive picker and skips memory - Expect every proxied turn to be stored. The proxy records upstream messages and model replies to Memory Core, and injected memory lands in your system prompt
- Check
data.validon/v3/meta/auth/verifyanddata.isErroron/v3/tools/call. Both can fail inside a success envelope - Retry
/v3/session/addonly on 500, 503 or a network error. The API reference says it isn't idempotent and writes a new object each call
