Renor Engine
Renor Engine is a memory engine for coding agents that stores session notes in local Markdown files and serves them over MCP.
Renor Engine is a memory system for coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. It stores decisions, notes, and facts as Markdown files in a local folder on your machine. When you start a new session, any supported agent recalls this information over the Model Context Protocol. The system runs locally without requiring an account or API key by default. It uses exact-word search or local and cloud embedding models to retrieve notes.
