emem-signer

emem-signer is an MCP server for Claude Code from Vortx-AI/emem. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A local service that runs a Python program to sign emem memory writes with an Ed25519 signing key. It needs a configured signing seed to operate.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for connecting an emem installation to a local signing process that signs composed memory writes. The key is supplied through configuration and is not needed merely to read emem.
Why use it?
Signing provides a way to verify that a memory write was produced by the holder of the key. Without this service, an emem setup that requires signed writes cannot create those signatures locally.

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 emem-signer plugin — 1 MCP server shipped together

Good fit It is for connecting an emem installation to a local signing process that signs composed memory writes. The key is supplied through configuration and is not needed merely to read emem.

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `python3` runs a file from the repository, so clone it first and make the path in the command match where you put it.

Install

Getting it into your agent

This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add Vortx-AI/emem
Claude Code
/plugin install emem-signer

Installing this writes the configuration, not the program: `python3` runs a file from the repository, so clone it first and make the path in the command match where you put it.

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install emem-signer, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 1 MCP server.

Security

Grade A, and why

emem-signer 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 today.

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.
