About
Permanent blockchain memory for AI agents.
README
npm version License: MIT Node.js Version
Give Claude and any MCP-compatible AI permanent, portable, verifiable memory on the ChainMemory blockchain.
ChainMemory MCP exposes the ChainMemory protocol to any AI agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol. Memories are encrypted client-side, anchored on-chain (Chain ID 202604), and portable across ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and any other LLM.
What's new in v2.2.0
- 12 new tools for memory organization and selective context injection
- Projects + auto-tagging — organize memories with project tags, define keywords for auto-tag rules
- Archive / unarchive — hide memories from recall without losing them
- Selective inject (paid) — inject 1-50 memories into a chat context for 0.001 AIC. 50% burned (deflationary), 50% to ecosystem treasury. Optimistic confirmation: returns plaintexts in <500ms while the on-chain payment confirms in background
- All tools routed through the REST API — no private key required for memory ops (encryption is server-side per-user)
- Single env var required to install:
CHAINMEMORY_API_KEY
Quick start
1. Get an API key
Visit https://faucet.chainmemory.ai and connect a wallet. You receive:
- An API key (for ops via REST)
- A starter balance of AIC (for selective inject, faucet caps at 0.1 AIC)
2. Add to Claude Desktop
Edit your Claude Desktop config (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json on Windows):
{
"mcpServers": {
"chainmemory": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "chainmemory-mcp"],
"env": {
"CHAINMEMORY_API_KEY": "aic_your_key_here"
}
}
}
}
Restart Claude Desktop. The 19 tools are now available.
3. Try it
In Claude Desktop, ask:
- "What do you remember about my projects?" →
chainmemory_recallis called - "Save this decision: switching to Postgres for the next sprint" →
chainmemory_remember - "Inject my last 5 blockchain memories into this chat" →
inject_memories(uses 0.001 AIC)
All 19 tools

Filter by project tag and archived status |
update_memory_tags |
Change tags on an existing memory |
archive_memory |
Hide a memory from recall (reversible) |
unarchive_memory |
Restore an archived memory |
Identity & stats (4)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
chainmemory_stats |
Network stats (AIs, memories, blocks, AIC supply) |
chainmemory_register |
Register a new AI identity on-chain |
chainmemory_profile |
Get an AI's profile and trust score |
chainmemory_seal |
Seal a memory permanently (requires AICHAIN_KEY) |
Projects (5)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
list_projects |
List the user's projects |
create_project |
Create a custom project tag with optional auto-tag keywords |
delete_project |
Delete a project tag |
list_project_templates |
List built-in templates (general, development, blockchain, business, personal, research) |
add_project_from_template |
Instantiate a built-in template |
Cross-platform context (1)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_my_context |
Portable verified context across all platforms (v2.1 feature) |
Selective inject — paid (3)
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
get_inject_balance |
Check AIC balance |
inject_memories |
Inject 1-50 memories into current chat context (0.001 AIC, optimistic) |
get_inject_history |
History of inject operations |
Environment variables
| Var | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
CHAINMEMORY_API_KEY |
Yes | Your API key from the faucet |
CHAINMEMORY_API_BASE |
No | Default https://api.chainmemory.ai |
AICHAIN_KEY |
No | Wallet private key — only required by chainmemory_seal |
AICHAIN_RPC |
No | Default https://rpc.chainmemory.ai — only for chainmemory_seal |
For most users only CHAINMEMORY_API_KEY is needed.
How selective inject works
Selective inject is the only paid operation. The flow:
- User (or AI) calls
inject_memorieswith a list of IDs - Backend checks balance (≥ 0.001 AIC required)
- Optimistic response (<500ms): plaintexts returned immediately, transactions queued
- Background: 0.0005 AIC sent to treasury, 0.0005 AIC sent to burn address
0x...dEaD get_inject_historyshows confirmation status
The deflationary burn means total AIC supply decreases with usage. Treasury portion funds infrastructure and validator rewards.
