Verdict

Pick codebase-memory-mcp if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Pick Roundtable AI MCP Server if you prefer its approach (local mcp server that delegates coding tasks to specialized ai sub-agents (codex, claude, cursor, gemini) in parallel).

Add codebase-memory-mcp

Install / run

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/main/install.sh | bash

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codebase-memory-mcp": {
      "command": "/path/to/codebase-memory-mcp",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

Add Roundtable AI MCP Server

Install / run

pip install roundtable-ai

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "roundtable-ai-mcp-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "roundtable-ai@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CLI_MCP_SUBAGENTS": "codex,claude,cursor,gemini"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.
