Verified Memory Overview

Verified Memory MCP server provides offline, read-only search over a checksum-verified memory pack and returns exact source quotes. It can use an optionally signed pack so retrieved content is checked against stored evidence before release. Reach for it when an agent needs local memory lookup with source-bound results rather than unrestricted generation. The project is a prototype and supports Claude Desktop and Claude Code according to the README.

Primary Use Cases for Verified Memory:

Search a local memory pack from an agent
Retrieve exact quotes for evidence-backed answers
Verify checksums before reading stored memory
Use signed local memory in offline workflows
