memento-mcp@1.2.2

VERIFIED· not started

Publisher claims: "The Autonomous Nervous System for AI Agents — local-first MCP middleware with temporal graph memory, active coercion, and proactive goal alignment." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.

Coverage

Not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed.
Tested
the dependency install step · every file read, file written and host contacted by what ran
Not tested
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

What this means for the label: Verified here covers what ran. The server's tools were not exercised with a real credential, so nothing about their behavior is asserted; the credential summary below says what to do with that.

Before you give it your token

It will ask for
MEMENTO_PROACTIVE_MAX_TOKENSMEMENTO_UI_AUTH_TOKENOPENAI_API_KEYConfiguration, not credentials: MEM0_EMBEDDING_MODEL, MEM0_MODEL, MEMENTO_AUTONOMY_INTERVAL, MEMENTO_DECAY_EPISODIC, MEMENTO_DECAY_SEMANTIC, MEMENTO_DECAY_WORKING, MEMENTO_DIR, MEMENTO_EMBEDDING_BACKEND, MEMENTO_FEDERATION_SOCKET, MEMENTO_HANDOFF_AUTO_CHECKPOINT_EVERY_N_EVENTS, MEMENTO_KG_DB_PATH, MEMENTO_LEDGER_COMPACT_AFTER, MEMENTO_LEDGER_QUIET, MEMENTO_PROACTIVE_INJECT, MEMENTO_PROACTIVE_STRATEGY, MEMENTO_PROACTIVE_TOP_K, MEMENTO_RULE_CONFIRMATION, MEMENTO_SHARED_KG_PATH, MEMENTO_SKIP_LEDGER_HOOK, MEMENTO_UI, MEMENTO_UI_PORT, MEMENTO_WRITE_SEARCH_TRACE, OPENAI_BASE_URL
Where it talks to
no vendor host named in the code
What the honeypot saw
no credential files read · no network
What we could not test
server startup · the tool list · tool behavior

Connect it with a scoped credential, under the guard. It asks for MEMENTO_PROACTIVE_MAX_TOKENS, MEMENTO_UI_AUTH_TOKEN, OPENAI_API_KEY and talks to its vendor. Give the credential to the guard, not the server: the value never enters the server's environment and only travels to the host you bind. What the tools do with a real credential was not observed.

$vet-skills run --net declared -- uvx memento-mcp

Never paste a credential into a chat, a ticket or a report, including ours. How the guard holds it.

KillerSkills ran it in the KillerSkills honeypot sandbox (2 scenarios; not started: dependency install failed; the server itself was not observed) on 2026-11-11 and scored it 82/100 (Verified). In what ran, nothing we could detect went wrong: no undeclared network egress, no credential reads, no persistent instruction writes. What it does with a real credential was not observed; the static findings and the publisher carry the rest of the score. Summary: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
