LocalNest MCP

The only MCP server that combines code intelligence, knowledge graph, and AI memory in one local-first package.

Every other MCP server forces you to choose: memory or code intelligence. LocalNest is the first to unify all three pillars — 74 tools, zero cloud, pure SQLite.

PillarWhat it does
Code IntelligenceHybrid BM25+vector search, AST-aware chunking, symbol finding (defs/usages/callers)
Knowledge GraphTemporal entity-triple store with multi-hop traversal and time-travel queries
Persistent MemoryCross-session recall, semantic dedup, agent-scoped isolation
100% Private

No data leaves your machine. Embeddings, index, and memory stay local.

Quick Start

npm install -g localnest-mcp
localnest setup
localnest doctor

Beta track (interactive TUI dashboard):
