How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security43
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- Known CVEs were checked across the 135 of 138 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- Declares code that runs automatically (build-time code we could not rule out (a Hatch, PDM or setuptools build hook, a dynamic version we could not read statically, shipped VCS metadata or a stray root module)) and that we could not recognise. It may be perfectly ordinary, but we have not established what it does. View diagnostics → Partial
- Dependency health was assessed across the 135 of 138 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency74
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL redirects; it must resolve directly. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to basicmachines-co/basic-memory). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (AGPL-3.0-or-later).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 5 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability0

Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to compare.Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool definitions to assess.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool text to scan.Unverified
Capabilities0
- Protocol version not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we never saw its MCP handshake.Unverified
Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema for these checks to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until we can run it. How we score packages →

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
Tools for package channels are captured by running the package in an isolated sandbox. The most recent sandbox run could not capture a tool list from this package.

What is the io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory MCP server?
io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory. Local-first knowledge management with bi-directional LLM sync via Markdown files. This page covers its PyPI package (basic-memory).
Is the io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory MCP server safe to use?
io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory scores 28 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
Is the io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory MCP server still maintained?
io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory MCP server under?
io.github.basicmachines-co/basic-memory declares the AGPL-3.0-or-later licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
