campfirein/cipheras a memory-centric MCP-enabled layer that preserves and shares coding context across IDEs, agents, and teams.
As teams use multiple coding agents, memory continuity becomes a bottleneck. Cipher provides a memory layer with MCP integration, vector stores, and workspace memory for cross-tool continuity.
This track focuses on:
- Cipher modes (CLI, API, MCP, UI)
- dual-memory and reasoning-memory workflows
- vector store and embedding configuration
- MCP server modes and production deployment controls
- repository:
campfirein/cipher - stars: about 3.6k
- latest release:
v0.3.0(published 2025-08-28)
