a-mem-mcp-server CLAUDE.md

Project guidance for Claude Code when working on a-mem, a memory system for AI assistants. It explains the project and the research behind it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Understanding the a-mem codebase and following its documented development guidance.
Why use it?
It gives the coding agent the project context and rules it needs before making changes.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 C, and why

a-mem-mcp-server CLAUDE.md scanned grade C with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ€” prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ€” measured 3d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf data/chroma/

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

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.

a-mem-mcp-server CLAUDE.md is an instructions file published in the GitHub repository tobs-code/a-mem-mcp-server (10 stars, last pushed 7mo ago), with no licence file. It adds 8,913 tokens to every session, about $0.0446 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
