memfleet 2.0.0

The memfleet cloud client — connect a terminal to a Strata fleet on memfleet.com without leaving it.

memfleet

memfleet is the cloud client for a Strata fleet on memfleet.com. strata is the local memory engine; memfleet is the remote fleet cloud. A developer connects a terminal to the cloud without ever leaving it:

pipx install memfleet
cd my-project && memfleet connect      # one browser approval, the rest in-terminal
claude                                  # the session binds this project's profile

…and a teammate who only holds an enrollment code reaches the same with:

memfleet connect --code XXXX

A note on the version history

Releases of the memfleet distribution at or below 1.6.1 were the Strata engine — that package has been renamed and now ships as strata-mem (import package and CLI still strata; ADR 0009). memfleet 2.0.0 is the first release of the cloud client described here. The major-version jump is deliberate: the repurposed package's "latest" must never resolve to an old engine release.

Install

pipx install memfleet          # once strata-mem + memfleet are on PyPI

Release order (strata-mem is not on PyPI yet): the engine publishes strata-mem 1.6.2 first (it carries the #113 judge-parse fix and exposes strata.install), then this client publishes memfleet 2.0.0, which depends on it. Until strata-mem is on PyPI, install the engine from source or git first:

pip install "strata-mem @ git+https://github.com/oren198/Strata.git"
pip install -e client/          # from a strata-web checkout

Commands

Command	What it does
memfleet login / logout	Device-flow login; the owner token goes to the OS keychain.
memfleet connect	Guided: log in → pick/create a workspace → pick/define a scope → create an agent → save the agent profile → wire the project up → verify.
memfleet connect --code XXXX	Enrollment-code path — no owner login (delegation plane).
memfleet workspaces list | create	Manage workspaces over /api/v1/manage/*.
memfleet scopes list | create	List / define scopes (validated engine-side).
memfleet agents list | create | revoke	Manage Registered Agents.
memfleet codes list | create | revoke	Manage enrollment codes.
memfleet profiles list | use	List agent profiles; use writes the project default.
memfleet setup	(Re)write the additive project setup on its own.

The binding model

Three credential planes, never crossed (ADR 0009 D4):

• the owner token (sot_…) — device-flow issued, manages the fleet;
• the agent key (sak_…) — what a session presents; one agent ⇄ one (scope, skill) binding, fixed at registration;
• the enrollment code (sge_…) — delegation to non-owners.

Sessions bind, not machines. Locally there are only named agent profiles (<workspace>/<agent>); the binding lives server-side. One machine may hold many profiles and each concurrent session resolves its own.

Secrets never touch disk

Secrets live only in the OS keychain (via keyring) or the environment — the client never writes an owner token or an agent key to a file:

• the owner token is keyed by server URL;
• each agent key is keyed by its profile name.

Where no keychain backend exists (headless, CI, containers), secrets come from the environment instead:

• MEMFLEET_AGENT_KEY — the agent key for the active profile (the same name the written MCP config resolves at session start);
• MEMFLEET_OWNER_TOKEN — an owner token for the management plane.

In that mode a write cannot persist without putting a secret on disk, which the client refuses to do; it prints the env var to set instead.

What connect writes (additive, idempotent, secret-free)

Setup is strictly additive and reuses the engine's install machinery (strata.install, ADR 0009 D3) — an existing entry is never overwritten. Run with --diff to preview without writing; a second run is a no-op.

• an MCP config entry for the hosted /mcp endpoint, keyed memfleet (distinct from the local engine's strata entry, so a project may run both). It is secret-free: the agent key is resolved at session start from the profile env (MEMFLEET_AGENT_KEY) —

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "memfleet": {
        "type": "http",
        "url": "https://memfleet.com/mcp",
        "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ${MEMFLEET_AGENT_KEY}" }
      }
    }
  }
  

• the memfleet-contribution skill into .claude/skills/.

The MCP entry is written to .mcp.json at the project root (the file where Claude Code expands ${VAR} in HTTP headers); it is secret-free and safe to commit. --project governs the repo-committable framing of future artifacts (commit it); the default writes the machine-local .claude/settings.local.json. Both are secret-free — a committed config with no profile present simply fails to authenticate the MCP server, and the session degrades silently.

The contribution Stop-hook + evaluator script (Strata#112) does not exist yet; this client writes no hook block. There is a marked extension point for it in memfleet/setup.py (TODO(strata#112)).

Configuration precedence

• server — --server flag → MEMFLEET_SERVER env → project .memfleet/config.toml server → default https://memfleet.com. No URL appears in the normal path; --server is for test / self-hosted only.
• agent profile — MEMFLEET_PROFILE env → project .memfleet/config.toml default_profile. The env override lets concurrent same-repo sessions each resolve their own profile.

.memfleet/config.toml holds only non-secret project state (a server URL and a default profile name). It is .memfleet/, not .strata/, so a project may run a local strata engine and the cloud side by side.
