Piia Engram MCP Server

Tell AI once who you are, how you work, and what "good" means. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and other MCP-compatible tools can start from the same AI work identity layer - local files you own, no cloud account, no hidden memory you cannot inspect.

People who work with codex, context management and local first and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

before you install - you'll need

Set ENGRAM_TOOLS, ENGRAM_AUTH_TOKEN before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add patdolitse-piia-engram -- uvx piia-engram

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "patdolitse-piia-engram": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "piia-engram"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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

license AGPL-3.0 - declared in the repository

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

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