| Best for | - Reliability & maintenance engineers wanting fast vibration diagnostics in plain language — no coding required.
- Developers & industrial-AI practitioners who want to expose predictive-maintenance workflows as MCP tools.
- Researchers & students working on bearing fault diagnosis, condition monitoring, or MCP/agent tooling.
| - 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 | - Domains outside vibration analysis and machinery health monitoring.
- Fully autonomous decision-making without expert oversight (it supports, not replaces, experts).
- Real-time streaming or multi-asset fleet monitoring (not yet implemented).
| - 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 | - Local file system access: read signal files, manual PDFs, write reports.
- Network access may be required for initial setup (e.g., pip install), but the tool operates locally.
- Requires Python 3.11+ and `uvx` (uv) for package running.
| - 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 | - Diagnostic accuracy depends on signal quality and declared sampling rate/unit; incorrect inputs can yield misleading results.
- Bearing catalog data must match actual bearings to compute fault frequencies correctly.
- Computed results sent to the LLM could potentially expose sensitive machine data, though raw signals stay local.
- Anomaly detection models may overfit to training baselines and misclassify novel fault patterns.
| - 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
