Accord Trace vs Codebase Memory MCP

A side-by-side look at the Accord Trace and Codebase Memory MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

Accord Trace logoAccord TraceCryptography · Remote HTTP/SSEIndependent cryptographic evidence and verification infrastructure for AI agents.55GoodAuth: not declaredCodebase Memory MCP logoCodebase Memory MCPKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)Code-intelligence engine that indexes a repo into a persistent knowledge graph — functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, cross-service links. 159 languages via tree-sitter + Hybrid LSP, sub-ms structural queries, 99% fewer tokens than grep. Single static binary, zero dependencies, 100% local. npx codebase-memory-mcp73GreatAuth: no auth required

Verdict: choose Accord Trace for cryptography work over a hosted endpoint; choose Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Tools & capabilities

Accord Trace tools 9

  • accord_trace_create_proofCreate an AccordTrace hash-bound service record. If issuer signing is configured, the proof also carries an Ed25519 issuer signature. Submitted content is not stored.
  • accord_trace_verifyVerify an AccordTrace recorded proof, optionally compare supplied data/hash, and verify an issuer signature when one is present.
  • accord_trace_get_proofRetrieve public non-secret AccordTrace proof metadata by proof ID.
  • accord_trace_hashCompute AccordTrace canonical SHA-256 for JSON-compatible data without creating a proof.
  • accord_trace_network_capabilitiesRead the live one-level AccordTrace Agent Affiliate Network policy, economics, anti-downline rules and payout activation status. Read-only; it does not enroll or attribute an agent.
  • accord_trace_network_statsRead aggregate live affiliate-network states, distinguishing generated invitations, attributions, qualified direct sales, earned commissions and paid commissions.
  • accord_trace_passport_product_capabilitiesRead the live Agent Passport Certificate product price and commercial readiness gates. Read-only; it never initiates checkout.
  • accord_trace_wallet_capabilitiesRead machine-facing Agent Wallet feature gates, Ed25519 signing contract, funded-balance policy, USDC representation and explicit no-credit/no-lending boundary. Read-only; it never creates a wallet or moves funds.
  • accord_trace_resolve_referralResolve a direct AccordTrace referral code to its active public referral record and disclosure without reserving attribution or creating a sale.

Codebase Memory MCP tools 17

  • index_repositoryIndex a repository. full/moderate add semantics; fast omits them; cross-repo-intelligence links services. Reports coverage gaps.
  • search_graphFind symbols via BM25 query, regex name/qn filters, or semantic_query. Rows keep qn/file/lines and in/out over CALLS/USAGE/CALL_REFERENCE/INHERITS/IMPLEMENTS.
  • query_graphRead-only Cypher for multi-hop, aggregation, complexity, or cross-service analysis. Default: 200 visible rows with exact/lower-bound totals and truncation; continue safely with next_cursor. graph=missed is a file tree of flagged coverage gaps; absence is not proof of completeness. Use get_graph_schema(diagnostics=full) for properties.
  • trace_pathTrace callers/callees, data flow, or cross-service paths. Defaults exclude tests and resolver evidence. Rows keep qn/hop with explicit totals, relations, and continuations.
  • get_code_snippetRead a search_graph symbol. auto bounds source and outlines large containers; full restores up to 500 lines. Source/outline pages continue; coverage_note marks gaps.
  • get_file_outlineDeclaration outline of one exact repository-relative file: optional exact label filter, source order, exact total/offset/limit paging; file/folder/container nodes excluded.
  • get_graph_schemaGet node-label and edge-type counts. diagnostics=full also lists queryable properties.
  • compare_graphsCompare two indexed snapshots: deterministic target-only additions and base-only removals of stable node/edge identities; each set capped by limit and a 512 KiB budget with exact totals and truncation reasons.
  • get_architectureCompact counts, languages, packages, entry points. Request structure, dependencies, routes, hotspots, boundaries, layers, clusters, cycles, or file_tree; path scopes a directory.
  • search_codeGraph-ranked text search: compact symbols, full bounded source, or file paths.
  • list_projectsList projects with stable paging. Identity is lean; stats adds graph sizes.
  • delete_projectDelete a project from the index

Frequently asked questions

Accord Trace is categorized under Cryptography and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Codebase Memory MCP belongs to Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Accord Trace for cryptography work and Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

Accord Trace has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Codebase Memory MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add accord-trace and deusdata-codebase-memory-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.

On AllMCPs, Accord Trace has a quality signal of 55/100 (Good) with 1 views, 0 installs and 0 GitHub stars. Codebase Memory MCP has 73/100 (Great) with 8 views, 1 installs and 47,004 GitHub stars.
