Get an API Key

Sign up for Mem0 Platform and start building

Quickstart

Store your first memory in under 5 minutes

​
Agent Skills

Teach your coding assistant how to build with Mem0: 
npx skills add https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0 --skill mem0
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any assistant that supports skills. Once installed, your assistant understands Mem0’s full API, framework integrations, and common patterns.

​
Claude Code Plugin

The OpenMemory plugin gives Claude Code persistent memory across sessions, projects, and teams — automatically.
1

Get your API key

Sign up at app.openmemory.dev.
2

Install the plugin

/plugin add mem0ai/claude-code-plugin
3

Set your environment variable

export OPENMEMORY_API_KEY="your-key-here"
4

Start coding

The plugin activates automatically. It captures decisions at session end, preserves context during compaction, and retrieves relevant memories at session start.

​
MCP Server Setup

Connect Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, or any MCP-compatible client to Mem0.
Sign up at app.openmemory.dev, then pick your client:
npx @openmemory/install --client claude --env OPENMEMORY_API_KEY=your-key
For full setup options, see OpenMemory Quickstart.

​
Universal Starter Prompt

Copy this into any AI tool to start building with Mem0: 
I want to start building with Mem0 — a self-improving memory layer for LLM
applications that gives agents persistent context across sessions.

**What Mem0 Does:**
Mem0 is a memory layer for AI apps — managed (Mem0 Platform) or self-hosted
(Open Source). It stores, retrieves, and manages user memories so agents
remember preferences, learn from interactions, and personalize over time.
Sub-50ms retrieval. Dual storage: vector embeddings + graph databases.

**Architecture Overview:**
- Memory is scoped by user_id, agent_id, or run_id
- Core operations: add, search, update, delete
- Memory types: factual (preferences, facts), episodic (past interactions),
  semantic (concept relationships), working (session state)
- Integration pattern: retrieve relevant memories → generate response → store
  new memories

**Quick Usage (Python Platform):**
  from mem0 import MemoryClient
  client = MemoryClient(api_key="m0-xxx")
  client.add("I prefer dark mode and use VS Code.", user_id="user1")
  results = client.search("What editor do they use?", user_id="user1")

**Quick Usage (JavaScript Platform):**
  import MemoryClient from 'mem0ai';
  const client = new MemoryClient({ apiKey: 'm0-xxx' });
  await client.add([{ role: "user", content: "I prefer dark mode." }], { user_id: "user1" });
  const results = await client.search("What editor?", { user_id: "user1" });

**Quick Usage (Python Open Source):**
  from mem0 import Memory
  m = Memory()
  m.add("I prefer dark mode and use VS Code.", user_id="user1")
  results = m.search("What editor do they use?", user_id="user1")

Help me integrate Mem0 into my project. Start by asking what I'm building,
what language/framework I'm using, and whether I want managed or self-hosted.
