cortex

cortex is an MCP server for Claude Code from AdityaVG13/cortex. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A Model Context Protocol server configuration for Cortex. It starts Cortex's server script with Node.js so an agent can connect to the plugin's memory service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when configuring the Cortex MCP connection in an agent environment or checking how the server is launched.
Why use it?
It provides the connection details needed to run Cortex's memory server. Without a server configuration, the agent cannot use that MCP service.

MCP server for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Part of the cortex plugin — 4 skills, 6 hooks, 1 MCP server shipped together

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `node` runs a file from the repository, so clone it first and make the path in the command match where you put it.

Security

Grade A, and why

cortex 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 1mo 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.
