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.

Builds a database query by concatenation evaluation/longmemeval/official-scoring.mjs:45
      : type === 'knowledge-update' ? UPDATE
        : type === 'single-session-preference' ? PREFERENCE : BASE + FIELDS;

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

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Cairn.ink Memory — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Cairn.ink Memory?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Cairn.ink Memory working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 397 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Cairn.ink Memory?
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 is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Cairn.ink Memory?
No API key is involved. Cairn.ink Memory answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Cairn.ink Memory?
It answers our handshake in 397 ms on average, which is faster than 36% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Cairn.ink Memory open source?
The code is open source: it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript, 31 stars on GitHub and 3 open issues. The licence covers the code in the repository, not the hosted service at cairn.ink, which runs on its operator's own terms.
