Before you install Engrim

What it can access
- An MCP server is a program your AI app starts and talks to. A local one runs with your user's permissions: it can see the files, environment variables and network your account can.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to connect to a database.
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to use a code-hosting token (GitHub/GitLab).
- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to act on cloud infrastructure.
Before you install
- Give it a read-only database user unless it must write.
- Use a fine-grained token limited to the repos it needs.
- Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by timgordontg on GitHub, 304 stars and 16 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Sep 26, 2026.
- Open-source license: MIT.
Tools Engrim exposes (4)
Listed by the server itself during our scan of commit e041da0.
engrim_recallRead-only query: Search this project's engrim memory for records relevant to a query using hybrid BM25 keyword and semantic vector ranking. Use before starting non-trivial work to recall prior architectural decisions, technical facts, user feedback, and project state. Safe to invoke repeatedly with
engrim_contextRead-only query: Return this project's curated session-boot memory pack (high-signal architectural decisions, active constraints, and conventions) to orient an agent at the start of a session or after clearing context. Safe to call repeatedly with zero mutations or external side effects. Records are
engrim_addWrite operation: Save a durable memory record to local SQLite storage so it persists across sessions and agent restarts. Call this whenever a non-trivial architectural choice, durable fact, user constraint, or state milestone is established. Appends a new record to the project memory database.
engrim_reviewRead-only check: Inspect conversation and flight recorder history before clearing context to surface recent architectural decisions not yet saved to curated memory. Safe to call with no side effects. Returns heuristic verdict (safe_to_clear: true/false/null) and uncaptured candidate records.
