Memory.dev

memory-dev is a local-first CLI tool that gives you AI-powered semantic memory over any git repository. You run memory-dev init on a repo and it walks every file, parses code at the AST level using Tree-sitter (extracting typed chunks like functions, classes, and modules), generates vector embeddings, and stores everything in a local SQLite database via Prisma. No cloud database needed — all data stays on your machine. Once indexed, memory-dev ask "..." embeds your natural-language question, finds the most relevant code chunks via cosine similarity, and streams back a synthesized answer with cited source locations. It also ships a watch mode for live re-indexing, a search command for raw vector lookup, and a status command for repo health. On top of the CLI, running memory-dev with no arguments launches an Ink TUI dashboard in the terminal. There's also an MCP server (mcp-server.ts) that exposes the same query capabilities as tools Claude Code and similar agents can call directly. The only external dependency is a Google AI API key (free tier) for generating embeddings and answers.
