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 chatrecall.dev

endpoint auth requires authentication - rejected our unauthenticated MCP initialize

repo age created 2026-08-20 - young repo, little track record yet

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

npm package chat-recall - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

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