Verified memory for coding agents: claims cited against code, stale withheld, savings receipts. It has 41 GitHub stars, is released under the GPL-3.0 license and runs locally with npx -y @kage-core/kage-graph-mcp.

About Kage

State an intent. Kage's orchestrator briefs a coding agent from your repo's own memory, runs it in an isolated git worktree — a single run or a multi-wave goal — and re-runs the checks itself rather than trusting the agent's report:

  • agent-memory
  • ai-agents
  • claude-code
  • code-graph
  • codex
  • cursor
  • developer-tools
  • knowledge-graph
  • mcp
  • mcp-server
