npx agentmods add mcp/asymptote-labs/agent-beacon/beacon

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `beacon` has to be on your PATH already, or the server will not start.

About the project

Agent Beacon is a local-first memory layer that records AI coding-agent sessions and turns useful workflows, corrections, and debugging patterns into knowledge that other agents can reuse. Developers use it across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, and other agent harnesses so lessons and repository conventions persist between sessions. The catalogue entries provide instructions and a skill for working with Beacon's shared agent memory.

Install

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.

Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Asymptote-Labs/agent-beacon

Security

Grade A, and why

beacon 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 20d 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.
