Enigma Python MCP vs Codebase Memory MCP

A side-by-side look at the Enigma Python MCP 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.

Enigma Python MCP logoEnigma Python MCPCryptography · Local subprocess (stdio)A Model Context Protocol server that brings the capabilities of enigmapython library to LLMs, allowing them to encrypt and decrypt messages using historically accurate Enigma machine emulators.59GoodAuth: no auth requiredCodebase 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 Enigma Python MCP for cryptography work as a local process; 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

Enigma Python MCP tools 1

  • encrypt_message Encrypt or decrypt a message using a specified Enigma machine configuration. Args: machine_model: Exact machine model name. MUST be one of: 'M3', 'M4', 'I', 'I_Norway', 'I_Sondermaschine', 'K', 'K_Swiss', 'D', 'Z', 'B_A133', 'T'. Do not add 'Enigma' prefix. Supported models and their explicitly required reflectors: - 'M3', 'I': UKWA, UKWB, UKWC - 'M4': UKWBThin, UKWCThin - 'I_Norway': UKW_EnigmaINorway - 'I_Sondermaschine': UKW_EnigmaISonder - 'K', 'K_Swiss', 'D': UKW_EnigmaCommercial - 'Z': UKW_EnigmaZ - 'B_A133': UKW_EnigmaB_A133 - 'T': UKW_EnigmaT message: The plaintext or ciphertext to process. - For Enigma Z: MUST contain ONLY digits (1234567890). - For Enigma B_A133: MUST contain ONLY Swedish letters (abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxyzåäö). Note: 'w' is strictly forbidden. - For all other machines: MUST contain ONLY standard letters (A-Z). - Spaces, punctuation, and special characters are strictly forbidden in all machines. rotors: List of RotorConfig objects. MUST be ordered exactly as: [Fastest/Rightmost, Middle, Slowest/Leftmost, Greek (if M4)]. reflector: The ReflectorConfig object. plugboard_pairs: Optional dict for plugboard connections (e.g. {"A": "B", "C": "D"}). Ignored if the machine has no plugboard.

  • 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

Enigma Python MCP is categorized under Cryptography and uses a local stdio subprocess. Codebase Memory MCP belongs to Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Enigma Python MCP 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.

Enigma Python MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. 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 denismaggior8-enigma-python-mcp and deusdata-codebase-memory-mcp as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
