What is mcp-memory-server CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for mcp-memory-server, a small project that packages a memory service in a container and makes it available over HTTP for Kubernetes deployments. The service stores its knowledge graph in a mounted data file.

Use it when changing the Dockerfile, Helm chart, example deployment files, documentation, or smoke tests for this project.

It gives a coding agent the repository's structure, build and test commands, and important deployment constraints without requiring the agent to discover them first.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01493	$0.01493
Opus 5.5	$0.00597	$0.00597
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00299	$0.00299

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-memory-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 2mo 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Requires `curl` and `jq`. The test is idempotent — safe to re-run against a live graph as it uses `smoke-test/` prefixed entity names and cleans up after itself.

What this repo is

A thin packaging project — no application source code. It builds a container image that wraps the upstream @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory (stdio) with supergateway to expose it as an MCP Streamable HTTP endpoint suitable for Kubernetes workloads. The knowledge graph is persisted to /data/memory.jsonl on a mounted volume.

The entire runtime is two npm install -g packages plus a single CMD line — there is no application build step or lint config. Changes are almost always to Dockerfile, chart/, examples/*.yaml, README.md, or tests/smoke-test.sh.

Build / run / test

# Local build + run
docker build -t mcp-memory-server .
docker run -p 3000:3000 -v $(pwd)/data:/data mcp-memory-server

# Smoke test (exercises all 7 MCP tools, verifies responses, then cleans up)
./tests/smoke-test.sh

# Against a remote deployment

Requires curl and jq. The test is idempotent — safe to re-run against a live graph as it uses smoke-test/ prefixed entity names and cleans up after itself.

Images are published to ghcr.io/foxj77/mcp-memory-server by .github/workflows/publish.yaml when a GitHub Release is created. Multi-arch (amd64 + arm64). Manual builds (no release) can be triggered via workflow_dispatch and receive edge + sha- tags only.

Changes

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.
