mex is a TypeScript CLI that gives AI coding agents persistent, structured project memory: it maps the codebase into a deterministic code graph, turns agent learnings into Markdown wiki pages, and routes only task-relevant context into each session. It also offers an MCP server and drift detection that flags knowledge affected by code changes.

Use cases

• give my AI coding agent persistent memory of the codebase
• stop agents re-scanning the whole repo every session
• detect when documentation drifts from the code
• share a common knowledge base across Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex
• build a code knowledge graph for my repository
• load only relevant architectural context per task
• set up an MCP server for project context

When to choose

• you use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) on a large codebase and want structured, source-linked memory instead of a giant stale instruction file
• you want drift detection tying documentation to exact code symbols
• you want an MCP-compatible context server with deterministic graph retrieval

When to avoid

• you need a fully managed team-hosted memory service - that's a separate early-access offering, not this open-source CLI
• your project is small enough that a single AGENTS.md file suffices
• you're not using AI coding agents at all
