Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

  • 17 Oct 26 +1

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

MCP tools · 9 exposed · ~1,323 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
digest_output ~110

Condense a long command output (build log, test report) and keep the full text for recall. Returns the first lines, every line that mentions errors, failures, warnings or test totals, and the last lines. The whole output stays queryable with recall("<label> ...") this session. Args: text: The raw output. label: A short name to recall it by, e.g. "maven-build".

find_code ~220

Find the method or class that answers a question about a codebase; returns only that symbol. Output: "file:first-last Symbol" and its code, instead of whole files. Name the class or method if you know it ("PedidoJpaMapper aDominio"). AMBIGUOUS lists candidates in different files: refine the query or pass `clue`. The index resyncs by checksum, so code is never stale. Args: query: What you are looking for: identifiers plus a few words. path: Project root directory (absolute). scope: "main" (skip tests, default), "test" or "all". subpath: Restrict to a directory inside the project. clue: Extra detail after an AMBIGUOUS reply. max_tokens: Cap on the returned code.

mark_outdated ~109

Flag one memory as corrected by another, after save_memory listed candidates. The old memory is kept (it was true on its date) but carries an OUTDATED notice, and searches answer with the new one first. Use the ids save_memory or a full search printed. Args: old_id: Id of the memory that is no longer current. new_id: Id of the memory that replaces it.

note ~72

Keep something you learned in this session (where a thing lives, what a method does, a result). Session notes are cheap to recall later and survive a context compaction; they vanish when the session ends. Include file:line when relevant. Durable facts belong in save_memory instead.

project_map ~137

Compact map of a codebase: files with their size in tokens, optionally their symbols and line ranges. Call it before exploring a project instead of listing directories and opening files. Indexes the project on first use and resyncs changed files by checksum on every call. Args: path: Project root directory (absolute). detail: "files" (cheapest) or "symbols" (adds methods/classes with first-last line). subpath: Restrict to a directory inside the project, e.g. "src/main".

read_file ~199

Read a text file, remembering what you were given this session. Reading it again returns "UNCHANGED" (a few tokens) or only a unified diff against your earlier copy. Prefer it over re-reading a file you already read in this session. Pass force=true if the earlier copy is no longer in your context (e.g. after a context compaction). With start_line/end_line (e.g. a range from project_map) only those lines are returned. Args: path: Absolute path of the file. force: Return the full content even if it has not changed. start_line: First line to return (1-based); 0 for the whole file. end_line: Last line to return (inclusive); 0 for the end of the file.

save_memory ~257

Store durable knowledge in the user's long-term memory (IHMT). Save decisions and why, setup, preferences, people and projects, procedures. Not transient chat, not secrets. Write it to make sense months later, and start with the date ("2026-02-03: ...") when it belongs to one. Reports how it was filed and any contradiction with an earlier memory — relay that notice. Args: content: The text to remember, self-contained. domain: Leave "general" to let IHMT classify it, or e.g. "software.java". content_type: "auto" (recommended), "code", "narrative", "clinical", "personal", "process" or "generic". replaces: When this corrects or updates something saved earlier, a few distinctive words describing that earlier memory ("RainDesktop version 1.3"). It is then flagged OUTDATED and searches answer with this one first. If several memories fit, nothing is flagged and the candidates are listed for `mark_outdated`.

search_memory ~163

Search the user's long-term memory (IHMT): decisions, setup, preferences, people, earlier sessions. Use several distinctive words, not a bare name. Returns the best memory with its date (plus one line per other match). AMBIGUOUS means several memories fit equally: ask the user or call again with `clue` (a place, date, project). Always relay OUTDATED notices. Args: query: What to look for, in any language. clue: Distinguishing detail, only after an AMBIGUOUS reply. detail: "compact" (default) or "full" (adds ids, tree paths and excerpts).

Common questions

What is the IHMT Memory MCP server?

IHMT Memory is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.gonzaroman/ihmt-memory. Long-term memory for AI coding agents, stored as a tree of plain local files. This page covers its PyPI package (ihmt-memory).

Is the IHMT Memory MCP server safe to use?

IHMT Memory scores 53 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 17 October 2026. 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.

What tools does the IHMT Memory MCP server expose?

IHMT Memory exposes 9 tools: search_memory, save_memory, mark_outdated, project_map, find_code, and 4 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,323 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the IHMT Memory MCP server still maintained?

IHMT Memory is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 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 IHMT Memory MCP server under?

IHMT Memory declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
