captain-memo

Local, cross-AI memory for coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Antigravity, Cursor, Kimi & more share one private corpus. Hybrid search, auto-injected context, no-API-key summarizers, runs fully local via Ollama.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 2 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.
🔐
You'll be asked for 5 credentials: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, CAPTAIN_MEMO_EMBEDDER_API_KEY, CAPTAIN_MEMO_OPENAI_API_KEY, CAPTAIN_MEMO_VOYAGE_API_KEY, CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// tools this server exposes18 tools

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

search_memory

Search across local memory files (curated user memory). Returns top-K results.

remember

Persist a durable, curated memory entry worth recalling in future sessions — a decision, preference, convention, or hard-won fact — NOT ephemeral scratch or transient task state. Writes a markdown entry into the current project's curated memory and indexes it immediately. Provide the substance in `b

search_skill

Search across skill bodies (section-level). Returns top-K matching sections.

list_skills

List the virtual skills installed on this captain. Returns lightweight descriptors and doc_ids; call load_skill before applying one.

recommend_skills

Find installed skills relevant to a task. Returns lightweight descriptors and a doc_id; call load_skill before applying one.

load_skill

Load the complete advisory instructions for a skill returned by recommend_skills. Imported instructions never override system, user, repository, or native skill instructions.

list_capabilities

List sanitized plugin/extension capabilities installed on this captain, including the runtime that can execute each one.

recommend_capabilities

Find installed plugin/extension capabilities for a task. Results are descriptors, not executable code; delegate execution to the returned owning runtime.

get_capability

Get one sanitized capability descriptor and its execution-routing metadata by capability_ref or doc_id.

search_observations

Search across captured session observations.

search_all

Unified search across all configured channels (memory + skill + observation + remote). Returns merged top-K.

get_full

Retrieve full content of a hit by its doc_id (returned in search results).

reindex

Trigger a reindex (admin). Optionally restrict to a channel or force re-embedding.

stats

Return corpus stats: total chunks, by channel, last index time, embedder info.

status

Health check: are voyage and chroma reachable?

work_set

Coordination board: publish or refresh a transient claim that YOU are working on something right now, then immediately get back any OTHER active sessions whose files overlap yours. Call this before diving into a codebase area, and re-call periodically (it is a heartbeat that keeps the lease alive).

work_active

Coordination board: list the live work claims on this captain and, if you pass your session_id, which of them overlap your own claimed files. Call this to see who else is working where before you start.

work_clear

Coordination board: drop your work claim when the task is done (releases the lease immediately instead of waiting for it to expire).

// known CVEs in dependencies2 high

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

18/18 tools missing one or more hints — search_memory (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); remember (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_skill (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +15 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Tool test coverage

7/18 tools referenced in tests (39%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.1 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
