Nahuali MCP Server

Memory an agent can inspect before it trusts. From an empty memory to evidence-backed recall: Nahuali shows what is ready to use and pauses what still needs review.

People who work with agent memory, local first and surrealdb and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Rust.
