goodmem:mcp

goodmem:mcp is a skill for Claude Code from PAIR-Systems-Inc/goodmem-claude-code-plugin. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,365 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow guide for GoodMem’s MCP server, which provides tools for storing, searching, and managing AI-agent memories. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure GoodMem, register embedding or language models, create memory spaces, ingest information, retrieve memories, and work with the server’s tool namespaces.
Why use it?
It explains the usual order of setup and use, while directing the agent to discover exact tool parameters instead of relying on outdated hardcoded details.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

goodmem:mcp 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.

GoodMem MCP Tools — Workflow Guide

The GoodMem MCP server exposes tools across multiple API namespaces plus local utilities. Most tools map to a GoodMem REST API endpoint; the utilities (goodmem_configure, goodmem_lookup_model, goodmem_client_info) run locally without contacting the server. Use tools/list to discover exact parameter schemas — this document covers workflow and patterns only.

Setup: The MCP server needs GOODMEM_BASE_URL and GOODMEM_API_KEY. These can be set as environment variables before launch, or configured from chat via goodmem_configure.

TLS: If the server uses a private or self-signed CA, set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS to the absolute path of its PEM certificate file before launch. Restart the MCP connection after changing this setting. An expired or invalid server certificate must be fixed on the server.


Typical workflow

  1. Configure — call goodmem_configure if credentials weren't set via env vars.
  2. Register providers — create embedder, LLM, and optionally reranker. Use goodmem_lookup_model to check the model registry before creating — it auto-infers provider, endpoint, and dimensionality for known models.
  3. Create a space — a space binds an embedder and chunking config. Memories ingested into a space are automatically chunked and embedded.
  4. Ingest memories — use goodmem_memories_create (single) or goodmem_memories_batch_create (bulk). Supports text, base64-encoded files, or URL references.
  5. Wait for processing — after ingestion, memories are processed asynchronously. Poll with goodmem_memories_get until processingStatus is COMPLETED.
  6. Retrieve — goodmem_memories_retrieve performs semantic search. Returns NDJSON with ranked results.

Namespaces

Embedders (goodmem_embedders_*)

Register and manage embedding models. The four SaaS provider types (OpenAI, Cohere, Voyage, Jina) require credentials. OpenAI-compatible endpoints (Anthropic, Google, Mistral) also require credentials when used under the OPENAI provider type. Omitting credentials for a known SaaS endpoint throws an error before the request is sent.

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.

goodmem:mcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository PAIR-Systems-Inc/goodmem-claude-code-plugin (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 1,365 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
