A cheap, persistent memory that learns your repo so your agent stops re-reading it
Short summary
Live-memory is an MCP server that maintains persistent repository knowledge for Claude Code, eliminating expensive re-reads across sessions. It uses a cheaper companion model (Haiku by default, pluggable to DeepSeek) to accumulate code context via side effects, then answers queries through a single tool. Benchmarks show ~61% cost reduction and 22% faster completion on understanding-heavy work, with all-in savings of 11-57% depending on the companion model chosen.
