mcp-search

mcp-search is an MCP server for Claude Code from thedotmack/claude-mem. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

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.

MCP server for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions Codex; 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.

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.

About the project

Claude-Mem, now presented as Grok Mem, records an agent's work, compresses it with AI, and brings relevant notes into later sessions so the agent can remember decisions and next steps. It is intended for persistent context across agent conversations and supports multiple coding-agent environments. The catalogue add-ons provide the workflows and integrations used to operate this memory system.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-search 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 9d 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.
