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)

Reuses Zapier's mature auth and integrations
Available on all plans, including free
No custom connector code required
Two tasks per call can consume allowances quickly
Shared task pool across Zaps, AI, code, MCP, and SDK
Coarser control and latency than a purpose-built server
