mem0-cli is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mem0ai/mem0. It costs 177 tokens per session (2,192 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line interface (CLI) for managing Mem0 memories from a terminal. It can add, search, list, update, and delete memories, and set up access for an agent or automated build process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install and configure Mem0, manage saved memories with commands, and run memory operations in development or automated workflows.
Why use it?
It lets developers manage memory from scripts, terminals, and continuous integration pipelines instead of writing each operation themselves.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mem0-cli scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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:

Mem0 memory is running in Agent Mode. Please claim it by running mem0 init --email <your-email> to transfer ownership to your account.

Never commit API keys, .env, or ~/.mem0/config.json.

After the human claims, the same API key keeps working — no agent disruption — and memories are preserved.

Interactive wizard (for humans):

mem0 init

Or set the environment variable directly:

export MEM0_API_KEY="m0-xxx"

Quick Reference

Add a memory

mem0 add "I prefer dark mode" --user-id alice

Search memories

mem0 search "preferences" --user-id alice

List all memories for a user

mem0 list --user-id alice

Get a specific memory

mem0 get <memory-id>

Update a memory

mem0 update <memory-id> "new text"

Delete a single memory

mem0 delete <memory-id>

Delete all memories for a user

mem0 delete --all --user-id alice --force

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
