/agentmemory-rest-api

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

# liveness
curl -fsS http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/livez

# save
curl -X POST http://localhost:3111/agentmemory/remember \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"content":"chose JWT refresh rotation","concepts":["jwt-refresh-rotation"]}'

# recall
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.

See also

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