Status
When to Use
- Memory commands return errors or unexpected results
- User asks "is Mem connected?" or "check my setup"
- First time using the plugin in a new environment
Usage
nmem --json status
Interpreting Results
Healthy response includes:
- Server status: running
- Version: server version number
- API URL: where the server is listening
- Capabilities: available features (search, threads, working memory)
If it fails:
- Check that the Nowledge Mem desktop app is running, or that
nmem serve is active on your server.
- Verify
nmem is installed: pip install nmem-cli, pipx install nmem-cli, or on Arch Linux yay -S nmem-cli / paru -S nmem-cli.
- For remote servers, ensure
~/.nowledge-mem/config.json contains valid apiUrl and apiKey fields, or set NMEM_API_URL and NMEM_API_KEY environment variables.
