Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 0 of 5 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency19
  • Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).Pass
  • Actively maintained (last published 95 days ago).Pass
  • Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 903 tokens (~75/item across 12 items; 12 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage89
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 67% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "merge_log" implies "merge" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities60
  • Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail
Install

How do I install the io.github.elephia/elephia MCP server?

io.github.elephia/elephia runs locally as a PyPI package, launched with uvx elephia. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~793 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
commit_turn ~82

Commit a completed conversation turn (user prompt + assistant answer) to the append-only journal. Durable phrasing ('remember that', 'from now on', corrections, decisions) is automatically merged into the versioned memory wiki. Call after each substantive answer.

NameTypeReqDescription
assistant_answerstringyes

user_promptstringyes

No output schema declared.

context_log ~41

Recent journaled events, newest first (like `git log` for the user's context).

NameTypeReqDescription

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

context_stats ~41

Token accounting and store status: compilations run, patch tokens served, tokens saved vs. sending full history, savings percentage, per-day breakdown, and store counts.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

explain_selection ~75

Explain why each context item was selected or excluded for a prompt: per-item salience scores (frequency, recency, relevance, correction priority, staleness) and exclusion reasons. Use when the user asks 'why did/didn't you remember X?'.

NameTypeReqDescription
budgetinteger
promptstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

full_context ~70

Page through the complete raw history (all events plus all wiki pages) when the compact patch is not enough. Returns total token counts so cost is visible before loading more.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerMax events to return (default 50).
offsetintegerEvent offset (default 0).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mark_stale ~68

Mark a memory wiki page as stale/superseded so it is excluded from future context. Use when the user says a saved fact is outdated or wrong.

limitintegerMax mutations to return (default 20).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

prepare_context ~109

Compile a compact, token-budgeted context patch from the user's durable memory, ranked by relevance to the prompt. Call this at the start of a conversation or when the topic shifts. Returns the rendered context plus token accounting (patch tokens vs. full-history tokens saved).

NameTypeReqDescription
budgetintegerMax tokens for the compiled patch (default: server budget).
conversation_idstringStable id for this conversation (default 'default').
promptstringyesThe user's current prompt or topic.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

What tools does the io.github.elephia/elephia MCP server expose?

io.github.elephia/elephia exposes 12 tools: prepare_context, commit_turn, remember, mark_stale, search_context, and 7 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 793 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.elephia/elephia MCP server still maintained?

io.github.elephia/elephia is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 20 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
