MemDocs gives Claude persistent memory of your codebase through git-native documentation stored in `.memdocs/` directories. It exposes review operations to analyze files or diffs, query operations for semantic search across stored context, and stats to track memory coverage. The MCP server surfaces this structured documentation (JSON, YAML, Markdown summaries) to AI assistants, replacing expensive full-repo scans with targeted context retrieval. Reach for this when you're tired of re-explaining your architecture every conversation, or when you need Claude to remember decisions across sessions without cloud dependencies. Works best with git hooks that auto-review changed files on commit, keeping memory current at minimal cost. Supports local embeddings via sentence-transformers for vector search, and integrates with the Empathy Framework for Level 4-5 collaborative AI workflows.
