| Best for | - Financial professionals and investment analysts needing real-time financial data and analysis
- AI application developers seeking to integrate financial data capabilities
- Researchers needing multi-market data for stocks, funds, bonds, crypto, etc.
- Users who want intelligent Q&A via MCP clients like Claude Desktop
| - 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 | - Non-financial MCP needs that do not require financial data services
- Production environments requiring official support or enterprise-grade service guarantees
- Users with strict data source permission requirements (need to apply for Tushare credits)
| - 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 a Tushare API token for access
- Crypto data uses Binance public market endpoints, no API key required
- stdio mode does not require network ports, but HTTP mode requires port opening and network access
| - 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 | - Dependency on Tushare API; some premium data require credits, free tokens may be limited
- Public cloud services (e.g., finvestai.top) are hosted on personal servers, risk of abuse and instability
- Data accuracy depends on third-party sources, may have latency or errors
- Self-hosting requires protecting sensitive keys like TUSHARE_TOKEN
| - 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
