Inillucent is an embedded SQL database written in Rust that aims to be a faster, AI-agent-friendly alternative to SQLite. It combines SQLite-compatible SQL, vector search with HNSW indexes, built-in embedding generation, and keyword search in a single file, with an MCP server for agent integration. The project claims significant performance improvements over SQLite and PostgreSQL with pgvector, and offers encryption at rest and multi-process access.
