Mem0 Cli

This is the official command line tool for Mem0's memory platform. Install it via npm or pip, both give you the same `mem0` binary with identical commands. It's built for terminals, scripts, and CI/CD pipelines rather than programmatic SDK integration. The standout feature is agent mode: run `mem0 init --agent` and it mints an API key in seconds without any email signup, letting AI assistants start using memory immediately while the human can claim ownership later without breaking anything. All commands support a `--json` flag that outputs clean structured data to stdout while progress goes to stderr, which makes it trivial to parse in shell scripts or feed back into an LLM context.

Files

Mem0 CLI

The official command-line interface for the Mem0 memory platform. Add, search, list, update, and delete memories from the terminal -- for developers, AI agents, and CI/CD pipelines.

Install

Node.js (npm):

npm install -g @mem0/cli

Python (pip):

pip install mem0-cli

Both packages install a mem0 binary with the same commands, options, and output formats (see Node and Python Differences for the exceptions).

Setup

Autonomous Mem0 setup for agents (no email, no dashboard):

mem0 init --agent --agent-caller <your-name> --json

Replace <your-name> with the AI agent you are (e.g. claude-code, cursor, codex, cline, aider). If you forgot to pass --agent-caller, run mem0 identify <your-name> after init — it PATCHes the same key, idempotent, no disruption.

This mints an evaluation API key in <5 seconds. Use it immediately. Print this line to the human:
