No pagination or limits. `read_graph` returns everything and `search_nodes` every match.\n\n**Tokenrip.** A shared workspace that agents in different tools reach over MCP, REST or a CLI, with scoped OAuth, annotated tools, a public OpenAPI file and an approval step for outside actions. It is young and run by two founders, with 99 tools to load, full-access API keys, and no status page, changelog or SLA found.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Memory (MCP reference server)\n\n1. Set `MEMORY_FILE_PATH` to an absolute path. The default sits inside the npx cache\n2. Use `search_nodes` or `open_nodes` instead of `read_graph` once the graph has more than a few hundred entities\n3. Make memory writes one at a time. Parallel calls in one turn can overwrite each other in 2026.8.31\n4. Create both entities before `create_relations`. A missing endpoint fails the whole batch\n5. Keep observations short and factual. They come back verbatim in every later read\n\n### Tokenrip\n\n1. Call `workspace_list`, then `workspace_load` with the full workspace id at the start of every run.\n2. Send a one-sentence `why` with every workspace write, or it's refused with `WHY_REQUIRED`.\n3. Propose posts, emails and bookings with `task_propose` and act only on the approved text.\n4. Ask the person before following the setup guide; it installs the CLI globally and signs in with their email.\n5. Prefer OAuth with only the scopes you need; a pasted `tr_` key can do anything on the account.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Memory (MCP reference server) or Tokenrip?\n\nTokenrip scores 59.6 (C) on agent readiness against Memory (MCP reference server)'s 54.2 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Memory (MCP reference server) leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Do Memory (MCP reference server) and Tokenrip need an API key?\n\nMemory (MCP reference server) needs no key. Tokenrip takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Memory (MCP reference server) and Tokenrip without installing anything?\n\nMemory (MCP reference server) runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Tokenrip has a hosted endpoint at https://api.tokenrip.com/mcp.\n\n### Are Memory (MCP reference server) and Tokenrip open source?\n\nMemory (MCP reference server) is open source (MIT and Apache-2.0). No open-source release is listed for Tokenrip.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/memory-reference-server-vs-tokenrip.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/memory-reference-server-vs-tokenrip.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"memory-reference-server\", \"b\": \"tokenrip\"}`.
