 #### Kuzu (Default)
 
-The server defaults to using Kuzu, an embedded graph database that runs in-memory without requiring any external services. While the Kuzu project has been archived by its original authors, we continue to use it as the default because:
-- It requires no external dependencies or containers
-- It runs entirely in-memory, making it perfect for development and testing
-- It's fully self-contained within the Python environment
-- We're hopeful the community will continue maintaining this excellent project

-#### What the Docker Setup Provides

-The Docker deployment:
-
-- Uses `uv` for package management and running the server
-- Installs dependencies from the `pyproject.toml` file
-- Automatically configures database connections based on the compose file used
-- Exposes the server on port 8000 with HTTP transport (access at `http://localhost:8000/mcp/`)
-- Includes healthchecks to ensure databases are operational before starting the MCP server
-- Supports all Graphiti features including custom entity types and multiple LLM providers
