Check host permissions before enabling code execution.\n3. Review the Elastic licence before hosting Engine for others.\n\n### Supermemory API + MCP\n\n1. Use one stable `containerTag` per user and a `customId` per session\n2. Poll the document until `status` is `done` before searching for what you just added\n3. Treat a 402 on search or profile as out of credit, not as a bug\n4. Run the prompt-based mass forget with `dryRun` first\n5.

Context Mode Engine leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Context Mode Engine and Supermemory API + MCP need an API key?\n\nContext Mode Engine needs no key. Supermemory API + MCP takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Context Mode Engine and Supermemory API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nContext Mode Engine runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed. Supermemory API + MCP has a hosted endpoint at https://api.supermemory.ai.\n\n### Are Context Mode Engine and Supermemory API + MCP open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Context Mode Engine. Supermemory API + MCP is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/context-mode-vs-supermemory.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/context-mode-vs-supermemory.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"context-mode\", \"b\": \"supermemory\"}`.
