| description | 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. |
| user-invocable | false |
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
curl -fsS http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/livez
curl -X POST http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/remember \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"content":"chose JWT refresh rotation","concepts":["jwt-refresh-rotation"]}'
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.

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