Local MCP Server for Codebase Memory: Ollama + ChromaDB Performance Tested
Developers are building local AI tools to avoid cloud API costs and privacy risks. A new project, zerikai_memory, runs entirely on-device using Ollama and ChromaDB. Testing shows mistral:7b averages 6.14s per query on an RTX 3050, while the larger ornith:9b takes 13.39s but offers better coding benchmarks.
