What's Good
MIT (friday-memory/friday; itskie/friday redirects here). FastAPI + Neo4j-shaped persistent cognitive memory exposed as MCP for Cursor/Claude/VS Code-class agents. Docker Compose path; health/add surfaces documented in-repo. ★~31 — focused local memory server, not a hosted memory SaaS.
The Catch
Vs Mem0 / Letta / Graphiti: Friday is the self-hosted MCP memory appliance for coding agents, not a multi-tenant memory API or a full agent OS. You operate Neo4j/Compose and embedding/model keys; star count is still early — pin and verify before production trust.
Verdict
MIT self-hosted memory MCP. Use when coding agents need durable local memory without Mem0 Cloud.
