Cursor IDE developer builds open-source memory layer with Neo4j

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created an open-source, self-hosted tool called Friday to manage context loss in the Cursor IDE. Instead of relying on large `.cursorrules` or `AGENTS.md` files that consume valuable prompt tokens and quickly become outdated, Friday uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. This server retrieves relevant project memory on-demand through targeted vector retrieval and stores architectural decisions and component facts in Neo4j as a relational knowledge graph. The system aims to reduce prompt token usage by approximately 90% and maintain more accurate, dynamic project context. AI

IMPACT Offers a more efficient way to manage AI agent context, potentially improving performance and reducing costs in development workflows.
