Set up in under 2 minutes.

1. Get an API key

After signup you'll receive a key that looks like mk_live_…. Use mk_test_ for local dev and mk_ci_ in CI.

2. Install the local agent

# Download memoryos-agent for your platform, then:
export MEMORYOS_API_KEY=mk_live_...
export MEMORYOS_PROJECT=proj_...
memoryos-agent --dirs .

The agent watches your repo for changes and syncs the structure of your code to MemoryOS in the background. Your actual source code stays on your machine by default. Run memoryos-agent install to keep it running in the background across reboots.

3. Wire up your MCP client

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "memoryos": {
      "command": "memoryos-agent",
      "args": ["--mcp"],
      "env": { "MEMORYOS_API_KEY": "mk_live_..." }
    }
  }
}

Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Zed, or any MCP-compatible client.

4. Or call the REST API directly

curl https://api.memoryos.dev/v1/context/assemble \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $MEMORYOS_API_KEY" \
  -H "content-type: application/json" \
  -d '{"project_id":"proj_...","task":"add stripe webhook handler","token_budget":4000}'
