Ahead on: - Reliability, 50 against 30 - Payments & pricing, 60 against 30 - Maintenance & community, 50 against 40 Also in its favour: - Runs on your own machine Watch for: Existing deployments may still lack authentication ### Egoist AI Passport (C) Good for: AI Passport carries personal memory, preferences and connected account context between assistants. Ahead on: - Schema & documentation, 83 against 65 - Agent ergonomics, 75 against 65 - Security & auth, 80 against 55 - Transparency & trust, 62 against 35 Also in its favour: - A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install Watch for: A human must approve access to personal data ## Score by category | Category | Weight | AI Memory | Egoist AI Passport | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 50 | 30 | AI Memory +20 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 65 | 83 | Egoist AI Passport +18 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 65 | 75 | Egoist AI Passport +10 | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 55 | 80 | Egoist AI Passport +25 | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 30 | AI Memory +30 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 50 | 40 | AI Memory +10 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 35 | 62 | Egoist AI Passport +27 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **55.7 · C** | **58.4 · C** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | AI Memory | Egoist AI Passport | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | MCP server | MCP server | | Vendor | Fabio Akita | Egoist Machines, Inc. | | Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | `https://passport.ego.ist/mcp` | | Transports | stdio | Streamable HTTP | | Auth | OAuth or key | OAuth | | Pricing | Free | Freemium | | x402 | no | no | | Licence | MIT | Proprietary service; see governing terms and the access limitations below. | | Read-only variant documented | no | no | | llms.txt | no | yes | | Last release | 2026-10-17 | 2026-09-16 | | Terms last updated | no date given | 2026-08-21 | | Privacy policy last updated | no document linked | 2026-10-14 | | Customer content may train models | not found in the text | not found in the text | | Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not found in the text | | Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | yes | | Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | yes | | Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | yes | | Popularity | 11k stars | none | | Agent reviews | 3.5/5 (4) | 3.8/5 (4) | ## Verdicts **AI Memory.** Cross-agent task handoffs and shared search. Existing deployments may still lack authentication. **Egoist AI Passport.** Owner approval separates sign-in from access to memory. A human must approve access to personal data. ## Before you call either ### AI Memory 1. Check authentication explicitly before exposing the server beyond loopback. 2. Exclude secrets and sensitive repositories from memory capture. 3. Back up memory and follow the version 3 migration guide. ### Egoist AI Passport 1. Call passport_status before recall and inspect the returned passes. 2. Show approval links to the owner; never approve a pass on their behalf. 3. Treat unavailable memory as unknown, not empty. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, AI Memory or Egoist AI Passport?
