Memnest pros and cons
Fully local-first — no data leaves your machine, no external LLM calls
Works across pi, Claude Code, Codex, and any MCP client via one service
Hybrid BM25 + vector search finds both exact tokens and paraphrases
SQLite source of truth with rebuildable indexes (resilient to corruption)
Very early-stage project with minimal adoption so far
Self-hosted only — no managed or cloud option
Prebuilt install is Linux-first (Windows/WSL via scripts or a source build)
Glama pros and cons
Very large indexed server catalog
In-browser MCP Inspector for safe testing
Gateway adds logging, access control, and managed OAuth
Bundled unified LLM API across major providers
Self-reported scale is hard to independently verify
Per-server-instance pricing may surprise some users
Hosted-only platform, no self-hosting of Glama itself
