| Best for | - AI agent developers needing broad crypto context — prices, DeFi, wallets, security — from multiple providers in one place
- Teams doing crypto due diligence with Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or other remote-HTTP-MCP clients
- Integrators who want one API key instead of separate upstream provider credentials
| - 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 need to self-host or modify the MCP server source (the server is closed-source and managed)
- Users seeking unlimited free usage (credit-based pricing applies)
- General-purpose tasks unrelated to crypto
| - 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 | - Hive API key (Authorization Bearer or X-API-Key header, optional secret)
- Optional upstream provider keys (COINGECKO_PRO_API_KEY, ALCHEMY_API_KEY, HELIUS_API_KEY, MORALIS_API_KEY, TENDERLY_API_KEY, GOPLUS_APP_KEY/SECRET, CODEX_API_KEY, etc.)
| - 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 | - Credit-based billing: each tool call consumes credits and rate limits apply
- Security scores are not investment advice; honeypot/rugpull results may be incomplete or lag
- On-chain text (token names, memos) should be treated as untrusted input with prompt-injection risk
- Data may come from cached or degraded sources; check provenance and freshness labels in responses
- Leaked API keys can be abused; keep keys server-side and rotate them
| - 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
