MemClaw Security: How Your Project Context Is Protected

When you store project context in MemClaw — architecture decisions, sprint goals, known issues — you're storing potentially sensitive information. Understanding how it's protected matters. Review MemClaw's security details → memclaw.me

What You Store in MemClaw

A typical MemClaw workspace contains:

• Tech stack and architecture decisions
• Sprint goals and current work
• Known issues and constraints
• Session history This is project context, not source code. You're not storing credentials, API keys, or sensitive user data in MemClaw.

What NOT to Store

Never store in MemClaw:

• API keys or credentials
• Database connection strings
• User personal data (PII)
• Payment information
• Security vulnerabilities in detail MemClaw is for project context — architecture, decisions, goals. Keep sensitive data out of it.

Security Best Practices

Keep your API key secure

Your MemClaw API key gives access to your workspaces. Treat it like any other API key:

• Don't commit it to version control
• Use environment variables, not hardcoded values
• Rotate it if you suspect compromise In .claude/mcp_config.json: { "mcpServers": { "memclaw": { "env": { "MEMCLAW_API_KEY": "${MEMCLAW_API_KEY}" } } } } Set MEMCLAW_API_KEY as an environment variable, not in the config file.

Add mcp_config.json to .gitignore

If your config contains the API key directly:

.gitignore

.claude/mcp_config.json Or use environment variable substitution (above) and commit the config without the key.

Review workspace content before sharing

If you share a workspace with team members, review what's in it first. Remove anything sensitive before sharing.
