mcp-search

An MCP server configuration that lets an agent search available claude-mem plugin installations and select a usable version. MCP is a standard way for an agent to connect to external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to locate the active claude-mem installation for memory-related tool calls. It supports environments where the configuration directory, plugin root, or cached plugin versions can vary.
Why use it?
It avoids relying on a fixed plugin path when installations may exist in different locations or versions. It also filters out orphaned installations and orders versions for selection.

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.

Grade A, and why

mcp-search 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 yesterday.

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.

Runs shell commandslowCapability

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

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.

mcp-search is an MCP server published in the GitHub repository thedotmack/claude-mem (92,633 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. Its token cost is not measured: an MCP server costs its tool schemas, not its config file. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
