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.

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.

const child = spawn(executable, args, {
Builds a file path from a variable src/efficiency/workflow-runner.ts:735
        const target = path.join(input.captureRoot, capture.artifactName);
Builds a database query by concatenation src/commands/self-update.ts:114, src/utils/update-check.ts:257
        console.log(`\n${ui.fail(`Update failed. Try manually:  ${formatUpdateFailureGuidance(latest)}`)}\n`);
  el.innerHTML = html;
Touches key and credential files preview/changelog.html:608
      "Preserve npm’s effective cache, including .npmrc configuration, before packed and upgrade installers isolate their environment. Only the cache path is forwarded; credentials remain excluded. Prefer verified cached packages with network fallback and label install timeouts…

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 memi and you get told the day something new turns up.

memi — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for memi?
memi 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 npm package @memi-design/cli was installed 1 612 times last week.
How do I connect memi?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @memi-design/cli straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use memi?
The npm package @memi-design/cli was installed 1 612 times in the last week. Week over week that is +665%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is memi open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 43 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
