DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Groundwork for a development memory backend, unreachable in this build

Memory not in their notes

Memory could sync against your own server with a bearer token, but the selecting check never returns.

A development memory backend using CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_TOKEN is present but its selection branch is unreachable.

What

Memory sync gained an alternative development backend that skips normal login and takes a bearer token from CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_TOKEN, with its address from CLAUDE_CODE_MEMORY_API_BASE_URL. The check that selects it calls a function whose body returns nothing, so the branch cannot be reached and normal memory sync is unaffected.

Details
  • Both environment variable names were added to the lists that allow them through and scrub them from logs.
  • When active it would bypass the usual organisation-memory precondition on its own.
Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
