spatial-memory-mcp CLAUDE.md

Contributor instructions for spatial-memory-mcp, a persistent semantic memory server for large language models. The server stores memories as searchable vectors and supports spatial navigation, using LanceDB and sentence-transformers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing the MCP server, memory storage, embeddings, validation, security, configuration, or related services.
Why use it?
They explain the project structure, architecture, configuration, and test commands so contributors can work without rediscovering how the repository fits together.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

spatial-memory-mcp CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

spatial-memory-mcp CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository arman-tech/spatial-memory-mcp (1 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 915 tokens to every session, about $0.0046 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
