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
- Set OPENAI_API_KEY (or another provider's key) and MODEL_NAME before starting the MCP server
- Use search_memory_facts for facts and search_nodes for entities instead of reading whole episodes
- Never call clear_graph to fix one fact. Use delete_episode or delete_entity_edge
- Pass group_ids on every search and add so one user's graph doesn't leak into another's
- Call get_status to check the database connection before a long ingest
Supermemory API + MCP
- Use one stable
containerTagper user and acustomIdper session - Poll the document until
statusisdonebefore searching for what you just added - Treat a 402 on search or profile as out of credit, not as a bug
- Run the prompt-based mass forget with
dryRunfirst - Call who_am_i on the MCP to see which spaces you can write to before adding
