Codebase Memory MCP vs Sequesign

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

Codebase 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 requiredSequesign logoSequesignCryptography · Local subprocess (stdio)Cryptographically verifiable receipts of an agent's delegated work, verified offline.53GoodAuth: not declared

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

Tools & capabilities

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
  • +5 more on the listing page

Sequesign tools 8

  • sequesign_start_sessionOpen a recording session (one signed action chain). Returns a `sessionId` (the receipt id) used by every other tool. Pass a `policyContext` object to bind the receipt to a policy (reaches `L3_POLICY_BOUND`). Optional `mode` (`direct`/`managed`) overrides the server default per session.
  • sequesign_record_actionAppend a signed action to the chain. `evidence` is hashed and signed. Returns the `actionId`.
  • sequesign_record_approvalAttach a locally signed approval for a recorded action (e.g. a human or agent reviewer signing off).
  • sequesign_record_counterparty_attestationAttach a counterparty's signed confirmation of a recorded action (e.g. a vendor confirming an amount). The SDK derives the content binding from the attested action.
  • sequesign_approve_receiptAttach an independently-witnessed **approval** to an *already-sealed* receipt (a deferred satellite). For a reviewer — human or another agent — signing off after the fact. The approver must be distinct from the recording agent.
  • sequesign_countersign_receiptAttach an independently-witnessed **counterparty confirmation** to an *already-sealed* receipt (a deferred satellite), bound to a specific action.
  • sequesign_finalizeSeal + witness the receipt and run the SDK's own verification. Closes the session.
  • sequesign_verifyVerify a sealed receipt offline. Three modes: integrity self-check of the local package (default); third-party `external` check when you pass the witness's published keys; or pass `receiptUrl` to verify the broker-**stored** receipt (the authoritative copy carrying the registered identity), auto-fe…

Frequently asked questions

Codebase Memory MCP is categorized under Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Sequesign belongs to Cryptography and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory work and Sequesign for cryptography.

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.

Codebase Memory MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Sequesign has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. 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 deusdata-codebase-memory-mcp and sequesign as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.

On AllMCPs, Codebase Memory MCP has a quality signal of 73/100 (Great) with 8 views, 1 installs and 47,004 GitHub stars. Sequesign has 53/100 (Good) with 0 views, 0 installs and 0 GitHub stars.
