agentmemory-rest-api

A guide to agentmemory's HTTP REST API, which lets software communicate with the local memory server using web requests. It covers health checks, saving memories, searching them, authentication, and response rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Checking whether agentmemory is running, saving and searching memories with curl or other HTTP clients, configuring authentication, and integrating hosts that do not support MCP.
Why use it?
It provides a fallback when an agent cannot use MCP, a protocol for connecting AI tools, and gives developers a direct way to integrate with the server.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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-rest-api scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

What it actually says

REST is agentmemory's primary surface. MCP is a bridge on top of it. Every memory operation has an HTTP endpoint under http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/*.

Quick start

# liveness
curl -fsS http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/livez

# save
curl -X POST http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/remember \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content":"chose JWT refresh rotation","concepts":["jwt-refresh-rotation"]}'

# recall
curl -X POST http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/smart-search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"auth token strategy","limit":5}'

Auth

By default localhost is open and no auth is needed. When AGENTMEMORY_SECRET is set, every request needs Authorization: Bearer $AGENTMEMORY_SECRET. See agentmemory-config.

Conventions

  • Save returns 201, reads return 200, validation errors return 400.
  • Handlers whitelist body fields and drop unknown ones, so passing extra keys is safe but ignored.
  • The port is configurable with --port or --instance; streams, viewer, and engine derive from it.

See also

  • agentmemory-mcp-tools for the MCP equivalents.
  • agentmemory-config for the port quartet and the secret.

Reference

The full endpoint list with methods lives in REFERENCE.md, generated from src/triggers/api.ts.

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.

agentmemory-rest-api is a skill published in the GitHub repository rohitg00/agentmemory (27,906 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 390 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
