What the reviewer found

Installer for memex, a local-first MCP memory server (open-source, MIT, github.com/parallelclaw/memex-mvp); the curl|bash line is the project's own published install.sh (inspectable via | less first), sudo is only used with explicit user 'yes', and editing ~/.claude/settings.json / ~/.cursor/mcp.json is the stated purpose of wiring in the MCP server (merge-only, never overwrite). Worth flagging to the installer: it registers a login-persistent LaunchAgent/systemd daemon that indexes Claude Code, Cursor, Obsidian and optionally Telegram-export history into a local SQLite DB, and the skill is to

• installs-software — installs software
• persistence — changes the machine outside the project
• settings-edit — edits agent settings
• network — calls the vendor’s API

How this review was made

Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
