## FAQ

### How is the memory secured?

Memories are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM with per-operation random IV and HMAC-SHA-256 integrity.

### How do I integrate Synapse Layer with Claude Desktop?

You can add it to your Claude Desktop configuration using the npx mcp-remote command with your specific connect token.

### What tools are available through the MCP interface?

The server registers 13 tools including recall, save_to_synapse, search, and list_memories to handle memory workflows.
