agentmemory-config

Configuration guidance for agentmemory, a local memory server for coding agents. It explains environment settings, optional AI features, authentication, and the server's ports.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up agentmemory, changing its port or authentication, choosing available tools, and enabling optional summarization or context injection.
Why use it?
It helps developers understand which settings are enabled, which features may use API tokens, and how to connect to the right service endpoint.

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

agentmemory-config 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 2d 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.

What it actually says

agentmemory reads configuration from the environment and from ~/.agentmemory/.env (one KEY=value per line, no export prefix). Restart the server after changing it.

Quick start

Enable richer memory and set a provider key in ~/.agentmemory/.env:

ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-...
AGENTMEMORY_AUTO_COMPRESS=true
AGENTMEMORY_INJECT_CONTEXT=true

Defaults worth knowing

  • No API key is required. Without one, agentmemory runs zero-LLM with BM25 plus local embeddings.
  • Token-spending features ship OFF on purpose: AGENTMEMORY_AUTO_COMPRESS (LLM summaries) and AGENTMEMORY_INJECT_CONTEXT (auto context injection) both cost tokens proportional to tool-use frequency.
  • Tool visibility: AGENTMEMORY_TOOLS=all (default) or core for the lean set.
  • Auth: set AGENTMEMORY_SECRET to require Authorization: Bearer on the REST API.

Ports

REST is the anchor at 3111. Streams = N+1 (3112), viewer = N+2 (3113), engine = N+46023 (49134). Relocate the whole block with --port <N> or --instance <N>.

See also

  • agentmemory-rest-api for how the secret is used.
  • agentmemory-architecture for the port quartet rationale.

Reference

The full recognized-variable list lives in REFERENCE.md, generated by scanning src/.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
