description	Check Nowledge Mem connection status, server version, CLI version, and configuration. Use when diagnosing issues or verifying setup.

Status

Quick diagnostic for Nowledge Mem connectivity and configuration.

When to Use

• User asks "is my memory working?" or "check status"
• Memory operations are failing or returning errors
• After initial setup to verify everything is connected
• When switching between local and remote mode

Usage

nmem --json status

This shows:

• Connection: whether the Nowledge Mem server is reachable
• Server version: which version of the backend is running
• CLI version: which version of nmem is installed
• Mode: local or remote (with API URL)
• Database: whether the knowledge graph is connected

Troubleshooting

If status fails:

• Ensure the Nowledge Mem desktop app is running, or start the server manually
• Check that nmem is installed: use the desktop app's Install CLI, pip install nmem-cli, uvx --from nmem-cli nmem, or on Arch Linux yay -S nmem-cli / paru -S nmem-cli
• For remote mode, verify ~/.nowledge-mem/config.json has correct apiUrl and apiKey

Native Connector

These skills work in any agent via CLI. For auto-recall, auto-capture, and graph tools, check if your agent has a native Nowledge Mem connector — run the check-integration skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations
