01 · Install Nautilus Compass Memory

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add chunxiaoxx-nautilus-compass --transport http https://compass.nautilus.social/mcp/

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "chunxiaoxx-nautilus-compass": {
      "url": "https://compass.nautilus.social/mcp/"
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · remote - your agent's requests go to compass.nautilus.social

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package nautilus-compass - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.chunxiaoxx is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
