Cogmemai runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 638 installs a week from npm. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.
Memory for any Ai: remembers across sessions, enforces your rules before actions, reviews the work.
What the code does
We read the source, 1 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
return execSync(`git ${args}`, { cwd, encoding: 'utf-8', timeout: 8000, stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe'] }).trim();
import { readFileSync, writeFileSync, mkdirSync, existsSync, unlinkSync, readdirSync, statSync, appendFileSync, realpathSync } from 'fs';

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.
