Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.
| What | Agent Memory MCP | hippo-memory |
|---|---|---|
| Risk grade | DD · High risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 24, 2026. Our opinion, not a code audit or security guarantee. | BB · Some risk signals Based on public adoption and transparency signals as of Oct 21, 2026.

| Type | App connector | App connector |
| Est. context load | ~850 tokens / turn (~5 tool schemas, 0.43% of 200k context) | ~950 tokens / turn (~5 tool schemas, 0.47% of 200k context) |
| GitHub stars | — | 786 |
| Weekly npm downloads | — | 1.4k |
| Local files | No local folder access noted | No local folder access noted |
| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | No shell command runner noted |
| Network reach | Local or standard API calls | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | No API token required | Requires API key or token |
| Package source | GitHub (ipiton/agent-memory-mcp) | npm (hippo-memory) |
| Install command | Source repo only | npx -y hippo-memory |
| Bottom line | Signal-based grade (1/7 points): public source code. This reflects adoption and transparency, not a code review. | Hippo-memory can be useful for keeping AI focused on your work, but only if you carefully control what data touches the system and monitor what gets stored locally. |
