- Scores: Reliability 30, Performance pending, Schema & documentation 80, Agent ergonomics 63, Security & auth 45, Payments & pricing 50, Task success pending, Maintenance & community 85, Transparency & trust 66 · total over the 7 assessed categories
- Why: Reliability, A status page exists at status.mem0.ai, but it refuses automated readers, so we couldn't see its components (10 of 20) or its incident histo… · Schema & documentation, Public OpenAPI 3.0.1 spec at docs.mem0.ai/openapi.json with 16 paths (25). · Agent ergonomics, The hosted MCP server has 11 tools (15), with no toolsets or read-only subset to add back. · Security & auth, Plain revocable API keys in an `Authorization: Token` header, and browser OAuth on the MCP server with no scopes documented (20 of 30). · Payments & pricing, No x402, MPP or L402 (0). · Maintenance & community, Python mem0ai 2.2.1 and npm mem0ai 3.3.1 both shipped on 2026-09-25 (30). · Transparency & trust, The extraction library is Apache-2.0, but graph memory runs only on the closed Platform, which is the product listed here (20 of 30).

## Before you call it

1. Send the REST key as `Authorization: Token <key>`, and the MCP key as Bearer
2. Don't search for a memory straight after adding it. Adds are queued, so poll get_event_status with the returned event ID
3. Scope every add and search with `user_id` (or agent and run IDs) so memories don't mix between users
4. Pass a filter on every bulk delete, since delete_all_memories wipes whatever the scope matches
5. On Hobby and Starter, count retrievals rather than adds. The retrieval quota is a tenth the size

## Connect

```bash
pip install mem0ai   # or: npm install mem0ai
```

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.mem0.ai/v1/memories/ -H "Authorization: Token $MEM0_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"I am vegetarian and allergic to nuts."}],"user_id":"alex"}'
```

```bash
claude mcp add --transport http mem0 https://mcp.mem0.ai/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer $MEM0_API_KEY"
```
