Security Report

4.8
Use Caution4.8High Risk

This is a well-structured MCP server for SharedMemory with proper authentication, secure credential handling, and appropriate scoping. The server requires API keys for operation, stores credentials in environment variables (not hardcoded), and makes authenticated API calls to a remote service. Minor code quality issues around error handling and input validation do not substantially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

@sharedmemory/mcp-server

Model Context Protocol server for SharedMemory. Gives Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, and other MCP-compatible tools persistent memory.

Quick Install (Recommended)

The fastest way to set up SharedMemory — one command, no JSON editing:

# Interactive — picks your client, asks for your API key
npx -y @sharedmemory/mcp-server install

# Or specify everything inline
npx -y @sharedmemory/mcp-server install --cursor --api-key sm_live_... --volume your-volume-id

# Install for all supported clients at once
npx -y @sharedmemory/mcp-server install --all --api-key sm_live_...

Supported clients: --claude-code, --claude, --cursor, --vscode, --windsurf, --all

Manual Setup

If you prefer to edit config files yourself:

Claude Code

One command:

claude mcp add sharedmemory -- npx -y @sharedmemory/mcp-server

Or with env vars:

claude mcp add --env SHAREDMEMORY_API_KEY=sm_live_... \
  --env SHAREDMEMORY_VOLUME_ID=your-volume-id \
  sharedmemory -- npx -y @sharedmemory/mcp-server

Or create .mcp.json in your project root to share with your team:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharedmemory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sharedmemory/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SHAREDMEMORY_API_KEY": "${SHAREDMEMORY_API_KEY}",
        "SHAREDMEMORY_API_URL": "https://api.sharedmemory.ai",
        "SHAREDMEMORY_VOLUME_ID": "${SHAREDMEMORY_VOLUME_ID}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Tip: Copy the included CLAUDE.md into your project root to teach Claude Code when and how to use SharedMemory proactively.

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sharedmemory": {
      "command": "npx",

        "SHAREDMEMORY_API_KEY": "sm_live_...",
        "SHAREDMEMORY_API_URL": "https://api.sharedmemory.ai",
        "SHAREDMEMORY_VOLUME_ID": "your-volume-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json in your project root:

        "SHAREDMEMORY_VOLUME_ID": "your-volume-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

VS Code Copilot

.vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "sharedmemory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@sharedmemory/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SHAREDMEMORY_API_KEY": "sm_live_...",
        "SHAREDMEMORY_API_URL": "https://api.sharedmemory.ai",
        "SHAREDMEMORY_VOLUME_ID": "your-volume-id"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:

{
