Verdict

Pick Graphiti MCP if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you want a hosted/remote server with nothing to install.

Pick MCP Server Chart if you want a local (stdio) server that keeps data on your machine, and you want zero-setup with no API key.

Add Graphiti MCP

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/getzep/graphiti.git && cd graphiti/mcp_server && docker compose up

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "graphiti-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "mcp-remote",
        "http://localhost:8000/mcp/"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop connects to remote servers through the `mcp-remote` proxy (installed on first run via npx). Restart Claude Desktop after saving.
