Most "agent memory" and "agent context" tools today require sending your data to someone else's cloud. If you operate in a regulated, air-gapped, or simply privacy-conscious environment, that rules them out before you've even tried them. I build the opposite: two MIT-licensed, local-first MCP servers that do this work entirely on your own hardware.
The problem
Agent memory and context assembly are converging on a cloud-only default. That's a non-starter for defense, healthcare, finance, legal, and any team that can't or won't let agent context leave their VPC. It's also just slower and less deterministic than it needs to be: agents re-discover the same facts about your repo and services every session, burning tokens and turns before doing any real work.
Mimir: persistent memory, fully offline
Mimir is a single ~8MB Rust binary. It encrypts everything at rest with AES-256-GCM, and it works with no API key, no model download, and no network access at all, because the embeddings used for dense search are bundled directly into the binary. It's bi-temporal: every fact carries a validity window, so you can query memory "as of" any past point and supersede facts without deleting history. 43 MCP tools, SQLite + FTS5 hybrid search under the hood.
