How agentmemory is built, the iii engine primitives it runs on, its storage model, ports, and the viewer. Use when reasoning about how memory is stored or retrieved end to end, when extending the system, or when answering how agentmemory works under the hood.
How agentmemory wires into host coding agents via the connect command. Use when installing agentmemory into a specific agent, when asked which agents are supported, or when a connect adapter writes the wrong config path.
agentmemory configuration, environment variables, ports, and feature flags. Use when enabling a feature, changing ports, setting an API key, configuring auth, or explaining why a feature is off by default.
The agentmemory plugin hooks that capture observations automatically across the agent session lifecycle. Use when explaining how memory gets captured without manual saves, when debugging missing observations, or when tuning what gets recorded.
Map of every agentmemory MCP tool, what each does, and its parameters. Use when choosing which memory tool to call, when a tool name or argument is unclear, or when answering what agentmemory can do via MCP.
The agentmemory HTTP REST API surface, the primary protocol for talking to the memory server. Use when calling agentmemory over HTTP, when MCP is unavailable and you need a fallback, or when integrating a host that does not speak MCP.
Trace a file, function, or line back to the agent session that produced its current commit. Use when the user asks "why is this code here", "what was the agent doing when this changed", "who wrote this", or wants context on a specific location in the codebase.

agentmemory is a memory server for coding agents. It runs locally, captures observations, indexes them for hybrid retrieval, and serves them back over REST and MCP. It is built on the iii engine.
Everything is a function, a trigger, or worker state on the iii engine. There is no separate plugin system; the worker registers functions (mem::*) and HTTP triggers (api::*) and the engine routes calls. agentmemory does not bypass iii; new capability is a new function plus a trigger.
Recall is hybrid: BM25 keyword search plus vector similarity plus graph expansion over linked concepts. The default install needs no API key because embeddings run on-device and BM25 needs none. An LLM provider only adds richer summaries and auto-injection, both opt-in.
Memories carry content, concepts, files, importance, and timestamps, grouped into sessions and optionally linked to commits. A lifecycle of capture, compress, consolidate, and forget keeps the store useful over time rather than letting it grow unbounded.
REST is the anchor at 3111. Streams = N+1 (3112), viewer = N+2 (3113), engine = N+46023 (49134). --instance N shifts the whole block by N*100.
A real-time web viewer at http://localhost:3113 shows memory building as sessions run. Useful for demos and for confirming capture is working.
