Lines where the two differ have a tinted background and bold values. Where the data itself says which value is better (more marketplaces, a larger figure of the same marketplace, a fresher release, a verified mark on a marketplace that lists both), the better one is also marked green with ▲ and the worse one red with ▼. Where it runs, the transport, the tools, the settings, hooks, the bundle's parts, the licence and the week's changes are marked only as different: more or fewer is not better in itself.
What each says it does
agent-memory
Save 60-90% on LLM token costs with intelligent memory compression. agent-memory automatically compresses tool output into structured observations, shares context across agents via a memory bus, and injects only relevant memory into each prompt — keeping your token budget under control. Features: auto-compression hooks (PostToolUse), token-budgeted context injection (SessionStart), semantic search via FTS5, cross-session persistence, and a token economics dashboard showing compression ratios and savings.
MaxGraph
Self-hosted persistent memory for AI agents: knowledge graph and hybrid search.
How to run each
agent-memory As a Claude Code plugin
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install agent-memory@claude-communityMaxGraph
No data for an automatic command: what its marketplaces declare does not say unambiguously how to connect it.
Requires: MEMORY_TOKEN (secret)
Commands built only from what the marketplaces declare; the full set for every client is on each card.
Tools each declares
Neither one's marketplaces publish a list of tools, so there is nothing to compare.
Settings each asks for
Only agent-memory asks for
AGENT_MEMORY_DATAPYTHONPATH
Only MaxGraph asks for
MEMORY_TOKEN (secret)
Settings as each marketplace publishes them. Asking for fewer is not better in itself.
