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 · remote - your agent's requests go to memofs.dev

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

repo age created 2026-07-12 - young repo, little track record yet

license MIT - declared in the repository

npm package @memofs/mcp-server - the @memofs scope differs from the repo owner (memo-fs); confirm it's the project's official package

registry vendor namespace dev.memofs - domain-verified with the official MCP registry
