| Best for | - Home-automation or small-organization administrators using UniFi Access.
- Users who need AI-assisted access to a local UniFi Access controller.
- Deployments able to maintain a local UniFi administrator or service account.
| - Individuals or teams who prioritise privacy and offline operation and do not want data leaving the machine
- Users who share memory across multiple MCP clients such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Hermes Agent, OpenClaw, Cursor, Codex and Gemini CLI
- Scenarios that need encrypted storage, a hash-chained audit log and verifiable vault migration
- Users who want low-latency recall, a bundled embedding model and no extra LLM calls inside the memory layer
|
|---|
| Not for | - Users who only have a Ubiquiti SSO cloud account and cannot provide a local controller account.
- Users needing Network or Protect functionality; those are separate servers in the repository.
- Environments where AI workflows must not access door, credential, or visitor data.
| - Users who need cloud multi-device sync or a hosted team memory service; moving between machines means locking the vault and copying the file
- Users who expect the server itself to run an LLM that extracts facts and decides what to remember; Compartment explicitly keeps no LLM inside and leaves that to the host model
- Users who cannot keep a passphrase safe or who need a recovery path if it is lost, since Compartment never generates a password, seed or recovery phrase
- Deployments that require network transports such as SSE or streamable-http; this server is stdio only and opens no ports
|
|---|
| Required permissions | - Requires the UniFi controller IP address or hostname.
- Requires a local UniFi administrator or service-account username and password.
- The account should have permissions for the required access-management operations.
- A UniFi API key may be used optionally; the source labels it experimental.
| - Read and write the vault file under the user's home directory, by default ~/.compartment/memory.vault, and its sibling settings file
- Access the session directory holding the unlock credential (configurable with COMPARTMENT_SESSION_DIR), which also carries the shared embedding process's Unix socket
- Optionally use the macOS keychain (compartment unlock --keychain is an explicit opt-in, and it survives reboots)
- Write or merge an mcpServers entry into each MCP client's own configuration file, taking a byte-exact backup first
- Install a PostToolUse hook for Claude Code that captures memory files the agent writes
- Serve a read-only dashboard on 127.0.0.1 behind a one-time random URL token
|
|---|
| Risks and side effects | - Door, credential, and visitor operations can affect real physical access.
- Controller credentials and API keys are sensitive and must be protected.
- UNIFI_VERIFY_SSL defaults to false, which can reduce TLS certificate-validation protection.
- Incorrect permissions or requests may cause unintended access-configuration changes.
| - A leaked passphrase means the encrypted content can be decrypted; Compartment generates no recovery phrase and cannot recover a lost passphrase
- Enabling the memory_unlock tool places the passphrase in the model's context, which is why it is off by default
- If a 2FA keyfile is lost, for example a USB stick, the vault cannot be opened even with the passphrase
- `export --plaintext` writes the vault as unencrypted JSONL, so that file must be handled carefully
- Memory content can come from untrusted sources; recall wraps memories with a notice that they are stored data and content can be marked quarantined, but the host agent must still treat memory as data to limit prompt-injection risk
- The capture hook and client integration write into the user's own settings files, although the implementation backs up and merges rather than replacing
