Security Report

5.2

Moderate5.2Moderate Risk

local-memory-mcp is a well-architected, security-conscious MCP server for local AI memory management. It correctly prioritizes privacy (no cloud, no API keys, data never leaves the machine) and demonstrates strong code quality with proper input validation via Zod schemas, comprehensive testing, and careful permission scoping. Permissions align well with its purpose as a local-only knowledge graph and retrieval system. One minor code quality issue (broad exception handling in embedding fallback) does not materially impact security. Supply chain analysis found 2 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (2 critical, 0 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.
