Before you call either
Hindsight
- Scope the MCP URL to one bank (/mcp/{bank}/) so every call lands in the right memory and three bank-admin tools drop out
- Use recall for lookups and keep reflect ($0.05 a call) for questions that need reasoning
- Pass
async: trueon large retains so the call returns before extraction finishes - Treat HTTP 402 as out of credit and 403 as a key that can't reach that bank
Mem0 Platform + MCP
- Send the REST key as
Authorization: Token <key>, and the MCP key as Bearer - Don't search for a memory straight after adding it. Adds are queued, so poll get_event_status with the returned event ID
- Scope every add and search with
user_id(or agent and run IDs) so memories don't mix between users - Pass a filter on every bulk delete, since delete_all_memories wipes whatever the scope matches
- On Hobby and Starter, count retrievals rather than adds. The retrieval quota is a tenth the size
