Verdicts

Graphiti

Apache-2.0, with FalkorDB, Neo4j or Amazon Neptune as the store. Every add runs LLM extraction, so ingestion costs tokens and time.

Supermemory API + MCP

8-tool hosted MCP with OAuth and per-space read or write permission. No legal entity named in the terms or privacy policy.

Before you call either

Graphiti

  1. Set OPENAI_API_KEY (or another provider's key) and MODEL_NAME before starting the MCP server
  2. Use search_memory_facts for facts and search_nodes for entities instead of reading whole episodes
  3. Never call clear_graph to fix one fact. Use delete_episode or delete_entity_edge
  4. Pass group_ids on every search and add so one user's graph doesn't leak into another's
  5. Call get_status to check the database connection before a long ingest

Supermemory API + MCP

  1. Use one stable containerTag per user and a customId per session
  2. Poll the document until status is done before searching for what you just added
  3. Treat a 402 on search or profile as out of credit, not as a bug
  4. Run the prompt-based mass forget with dryRun first
  5. Call who_am_i on the MCP to see which spaces you can write to before adding
