02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

repo age created 2026-07-03 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @conarium-ai/core - the @conarium-ai scope differs from the repo owner (dogrucanemek-alt); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.dogrucanemek-alt is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Conarium FAQ

What is Conarium?

The Third Eye for Your Company's Data. A self-hosted, governed gateway that lets AI coding assistants (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) touch your real data under a policy you write - protected values masked before they leave. When a receipt sink is configured it writes a signed, independently verifiable receipt of every access it mediates; conarium-init sets that sink, so the default layout does.

Is Conarium still maintained?

Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-24 and it shipped 10+ releases in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.

How do I install Conarium?

Run `npx -y @conarium-ai/core`. The README documents 4 environment variables (CONARIUM_AUDIT_SIGNING_KEY, CONARIUM_ANCHOR_TOKENS, CONARIUM_ANCHOR_SIGNING_KEY…) to set first. Set CONARIUM_AUDIT_SIGNING_KEY, CONARIUM_ANCHOR_TOKENS, CONARIUM_ANCHOR_SIGNING_KEY, CONARIUM_ANCHOR_BASE_URL before connecting. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.

Does Conarium run locally?

Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via npx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
