About Engram

Engram gives coding agents a project memory that survives between sessions. It is a single Go binary using SQLite with FTS5 full-text search, exposed through an MCP server, an HTTP API, a CLI and a terminal UI, and works with MCP-compatible agents including Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Codex, Cursor and Windsurf. It needs no Node.js, Python or Docker; an optional cloud sync is offered separately.

Engram is an open-source project written primarily in Go, with 6.8k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in September 2026.
