Enigma Memory is a local-first AI Memory Passport. It gives you one canonical local memory vault, receipt-backed proof for Enigma-controlled events, and MCP connections into assistants such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kimi Code, and generic MCP clients.
Start with the Memory Drive loop below — one install, one connect, then health and status verification. You do not need to understand relay, gateway, mesh, browser, desktop, hosted infrastructure, or the proof network before trying Enigma locally.
Hosted cloud and BYOC operation are waitlist/operator-deploy only; they require real deployment credentials, domains, TLS, durable storage, KMS/secrets, monitoring, backups, and operator acceptance. The relay and gateway binaries included in the package are local bootstrap probes, not a live hosted service.
Enigma does not claim that a closed provider deleted internal data, that model weights forgot, or that provider-native memory disappeared. It proves facts about Enigma-controlled vault state, receipts, checkpoints, and declared boundary operations.
Prerequisites:
>=24Use Enigma as your private Memory Drive for AI: install once, connect the AI clients you already have, then inspect drive health and passport status before remembering, retrieving, packaging, and verifying context.

enigma context --bundle "%USERPROFILE%\.enigma\bundle.json" --query "Q3 planning" --out "%USERPROFILE%\.enigma\context-pack.json"
enigma verify --export "%USERPROFILE%\.enigma\export.json"enigma setup is the credential-free first run: it creates the local .enigma workspace, bundle, proof artifacts, and a demo memory, then connects every installed/config-present client it detects (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Kimi Code, VS Code/Cline, Roo, OpenCode, generic MCP). It skips clients that are not installed and never creates configs from scratch; preview with --dry-run first if you want to see which clients will be written. If no clients are installed, setup still succeeds and the local CLI path works; use the copy-paste MCP snippets below to connect a client later, or run enigma connect generic-mcp --dry-run to preview a standalone snippet. The same commands run on Windows PowerShell via the enigma.cmd shim the npm global install adds. Neither command prints raw memory plaintext.
Enigma Proof Network is the public proof layer for AI memory: local tools can package privacy-preserving roots, refs, counts, signatures, scoped capability grants, revocations, and benchmark attestations without exposing raw memory, prompts, transcripts, completions, embeddings, tenant names, private keys, provider responses, or provider credentials.
The enigma chain anchor|grant|revoke|attest|verify commands are local planning and verification commands. They emit public-safe JSON with transaction_submitted:false and raw_memory_on_chain:false; they do not submit Solana transactions, deploy hosted SaaS, create accounts, or call external providers.
Start with the category narrative in docs/market-category-narrative.md, then read the technical overview in docs/proof-network.md, use its Solana role section for the Solana-ready anchoring boundary, and read docs/proof-network-faq.md for claim boundaries.
Use a source checkout only when you need source-only docs, Docker assets, browser-extension scaffolding, package development, or release scripts:
git clone https://github.com/Enigma-Memory/enigma-memory.git
cd enigma-memory
npm run install:local -- --execute --init-vault --bundle ./.enigma/bundle.json
enigma doctor
enigma-relay demo
enigma-gateway demoinstall:local is dry-run unless --execute is present. The command above installs the checked-out package globally and creates a local vault bundle. It does not require Cloudflare, OpenAI, Anthropic, npm publish credentials, a database, or hosted infrastructure.
Manual alternative: inspect the lower-level local vault steps that enigma setup prepares for you. Use a tenant-approved smoke file; do not expand private memory into shell argv.
POSIX shell:
mkdir -p .enigma

enigma export --bundle .\.enigma\bundle.json --out .\.enigma\export.json
enigma verify --export .\.enigma\export.jsonThe bundle is local. Exported proof artifacts contain encrypted/committed vault state and receipt metadata; do not paste raw memory plaintext into relay records, witness checkpoints, SIEM events, public proof artifacts, or shell command lines.
Run the Enigma MCP server over stdio:
POSIX shell:
ENIGMA_BUNDLE="$HOME/.enigma/bundle.json" enigma-mcpWindows PowerShell:
$env:ENIGMA_BUNDLE = "$HOME\.enigma\bundle.json"
enigma-mcp.cmdOr through the CLI:
ENIGMA_BUNDLE="$HOME/.enigma/bundle.json" enigma mcp serveWindows PowerShell CLI form:
$env:ENIGMA_BUNDLE = "$HOME\.enigma\bundle.json"
enigma.cmd mcp serveGeneric MCP client entry:
{
"mcpServers": {
"enigma": {
"command": "enigma-mcp",
"args": [],
"env": {
"ENIGMA_BUNDLE": "/absolute/path/to/.enigma/bundle.json"
}
}
}
}The MCP server exposes enigma_init, enigma_remember, enigma_search, enigma_context_pack, enigma_delete, and enigma_verify_receipts, plus an Enigma passport summary resource and a memory-use prompt. Provider-native memory should be treated as cache only; Enigma vault state remains canonical.
Supported connector profiles are:
claude-desktopcursorkimi-codevscode-clinerooopencodegeneric-mcpThe one-command path above (enigma setup --client auto --connect-installed --overwrite) already connects every installed/config-present client. To connect or preview a single client instead:
enigma connect claude-desktop --dry-run
enigma connect cursor --dry-run
enigma connect kimi-code --dry-run
enigma connect generic-mcp --dry-runRemove --dry-run from enigma connect <client> only after you are ready for Enigma to merge the mcpServers.enigma entry into that specific client config. Bare enigma setup without --connect-installed or --write-connectors never writes third-party app configs.

The browser extension is an unpacked Manifest V3 scaffold in:
apps/browser-extensionThe local native messaging host install assets are in:
apps/native-hostRegister host name com.enigma.native_host by generating a browser-specific manifest:
enigma native-host manifest --browser chrome --host-path "/absolute/path/to/enigma-native-host" --extension-id "REPLACE_WITH_EXTENSION_ID" --out ./com.enigma.native_host.jsonUse --browser edge or --browser firefox for those browsers. Find unpacked Chrome IDs at chrome://extensions > Developer mode > Enigma > Details, Edge IDs at edge://extensions > Developer mode > Enigma > Details, and Firefox IDs at about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox or from a stable browser_specific_settings.gecko.id/signed add-on ID. The host path must be absolute and point to enigma-native-host or a wrapper that sets ENIGMA_BUNDLE before launching it. Without --out, the generator prints manifest JSON to stdout; with --out, it writes the file and reports { ok, path }. Copy the resulting com.enigma.native_host.json into the browser/OS native-host location, or create the documented Windows registry key yourself. Manual templates remain in apps/native-host/manifests/. Exact copy and registry commands are in apps/native-host/README.md.
The native host is inside the local trust boundary: protect the manifest, wrapper, executable, and ENIGMA_BUNDLE path from local modification. The extension does not use browser sync storage (chrome.storage.sync) at all and requires an explicit user click before inserting Enigma context into ChatGPT, Claude, Kimi, Perplexity, or another supported provider page. Provider-native memory remains cache only; Enigma receipts do not prove provider deletion or model forgetting. See apps/browser-extension/README.md, apps/native-host/README.md, and docs/install-anywhere.md in the source checkout.
The desktop surface is a static local scaffold in:
apps/desktop/src/index.htmlOpen it directly in a browser or package it inside a desktop shell. It models vault, MCP, clients, import/export, verifier, deletion, mesh, and enterprise screens. Desktop UI state is operational evidence only; cryptographic proof still comes from Enigma receipts and verifier output.
Local relay and gateway servers are Node HTTP modules:
apps/relay/src/server.mjs stores opaque encrypted relay records, signs witness checkpoints, and handles pairing. It rejects plaintext-looking memory fields.apps/gateway/src/server.mjs evaluates enterprise policy, emits signed decisions, and exports plaintext-minimized SIEM events. It does not call model providers.Direct bins are available after a source or package install. Add --state-file <path> when a local demo should survive a restart:
mkdir -p .enigma/state
enigma-relay demo
enigma-relay serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8787 --state-file ./.enigma/state/relay-state.json
enigma-gateway demo
enigma-gateway serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8797 --state-file ./.enigma/state/gateway-state.jsonThe same behavior is also available through the main CLI:
enigma relay demo
enigma relay serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8787 --state-file ./.enigma/state/relay-state.json
enigma gateway demo
enigma gateway serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8797 --state-file ./.enigma/state/gateway-state.json--state-file is local demo durability, not a production database. Relay state files may contain relay node/trust metadata, local demo signing material, hash-only or opaque relay records, witness checkpoints, completed pairings, and authorization mode; they must not contain raw memory plaintext, prompts, transcripts, decrypted capsule contents, raw request bodies, or pending challenges. Gateway state business data is limited to active policy/minimized policy metadata, policy hash, and plaintext-minimized SIEM/decision evidence, but the snapshot may also include local demo identity and Ed25519 signing key material needed to verify decisions; it must not contain raw memory, prompts, completions, transcripts, provider responses, embeddings, tenant secrets, KMS material, or provider hidden-state claims. Unknown, malformed, or plaintext-looking state fails closed instead of silently resetting.
Keep state files outside source control with owner-only file permissions. Backups are useful for local demo restore only; hosted and BYOC deployments still need real durable storage, KMS/secrets, monitored backups, restore rehearsal, and an accepted operator packet.
For source-checkout Docker demos:
cd enigma
docker compose up --build relay gatewaySee docs/install-anywhere.md and docs/deployment-runbook.md in the source checkout for concrete local server, Docker, hosted, and BYOC steps.
Enterprise modes:
Both modes keep provider-native memory as cache only. Enigma can prove its own committed state and policy decisions; it cannot prove that a third-party provider erased hidden state or changed model weights.
Importer APIs normalize exported memory/context from ChatGPT, Claude, Mem0, Letta, LangGraph, Zep/Graphiti, and Enigma capsules into candidates with source references, limitations, confidence, and completeness flags. Imports preserve source caveats. A source export becomes canonical only after the candidate is written through an Enigma vault and receives Enigma receipts.
Migration CLI examples:
enigma import chatgpt --file ./chatgpt-export.json --out ./enigma-import-report.json
enigma capsule export --file ./enigma-import-report.json --out ./enigma-capsule.json
enigma capsule import --file ./enigma-capsule.json --bundle "$HOME/.enigma/bundle.json"Repeatable package/demo audit:
npm run release:auditThis is the one-command local release evidence path; add -- --out <file> when another Enigma production command needs to consume the audit JSON. Docker runtime, hosted cloud, npm publication, and live website review remain external/operator-gated checks rather than prerequisites for release:audit.
Local provenance/SBOM checksum evidence:
npm run provenance:local -- --out ./.enigma/release-provenance.jsonUse docs/release-provenance-and-sbom.md to interpret the generated JSON. Reviewers can compare recorded (path, sha256) entries with freshly computed SHA-256 values or with another provenance file. Run npm pack --dry-run separately when reviewing package tarball contents, and build the public site artifact before rerunning provenance when the optional public_site_manifest checksum is in scope. The provenance file is local unsigned checksum evidence only.
Hand-review packet:
python scripts/build_public_site.py
npm run review:packet -- --out ./.enigma-review-packet --public-site ./_public_siteUse docs/reviewer-packet.md to inspect REVIEW_PACKET_MANIFEST.json, evidence/release-audit.json, evidence/local-provenance.json, package/npm-pack-dry-run.json, copied docs/, optional site/, and the recorded SHA-256 values. Pass --public-site only for an already-built generated public-site artifact such as ./_public_site; the packet copies local evidence for review and does not prove npm publication, live Cloudflare deployment, Docker image/runtime behavior, hosted/BYOC readiness, legal approval, signed provenance, or compliance status.
