This is cool! Do you have any plans on releasing it as an MCP server? Would love to add this to my mcp gateway service https://mcp-boss.com/ (shameless plug)

The insight: Git already solved versioned document management. Why are we building complex vector stores when we could just use markdown files with Git's built-in diff/blame/history?
How it works:
Memories stored as markdown files in a Git repo Each conversation = one commit git diff shows how understanding evolves over time BM25 for search (no embeddings needed) LLMs generate search queries from conversation context Example: Ask "how has my project evolved?" and it uses git diff to show actual changes in understanding, not just similarity scores.
This is very much a PoC - rough edges everywhere, not production ready. But it's been working surprisingly well for personal use. The entire index for a year of conversations fits in ~100MB RAM with sub-second retrieval.
The cool part: You can git checkout to any point in time and see exactly what the AI knew then. Perfect reproducibility, human-readable storage, and you can manually edit memories if needed.

Would love feedback on the approach. Is this crazy or clever? What am I missing that will bite me later?
