What the code does

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Runs commands and sends data out [пакет] src/exomem/doctor.py:401

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

    for candidate in (Path("/.dockerenv"), Path("/run/.containerenv")):

In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Exomem and you get told the day something new turns up.

Exomem — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Exomem?
Exomem runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package exomem was installed 56 908 times last week.
How do I connect Exomem?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls exomem straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Exomem?
The pypi package exomem was installed 56 908 times in the last week. Week over week that is +42%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Exomem open source?
Yes — it is published under the AGPL-3.0 licence, written in Python, 9 stars on GitHub and 76 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
