Quickstart

The memory OS for coding agents. Pick your agent below or start local-first with the SDK — no signup needed.

Local-first (any agent, no signup)

Works fully offline against a local SQLite + FTS5 store. No API key, no cloud. Upgrade to cloud, teams, and projects when you need them.

from agentbay import AgentBay

brain = AgentBay()  # local mode, no signup
brain.store("JWT auth, 24h refresh", title="Auth pattern", type="PATTERN")
brain.recall("authentication")

# When you want cloud:
agentbay login  # opens browser, saves your key, migrates local memories

Ready to move from local to cloud?

Run this once to connect your local install to cloud. Free cloud workspaces include 10,000 memories and 1,000 API calls/day, and Brain Time Machine plus Teams are unlocked during early access.

Or pick your coding agent

Each guide has install, auth, local-first flow, upgrade path, verification steps, and a realistic coding-agent example.

Claude Code

MCP + hooks

Global MCP setup with lifecycle hooks — auto-recall on session start, auto-store on stop, pre-compact context save.

Cursor

MCP config

HTTP MCP config in ~/.cursor/mcp.json. Optional .cursor/rules/ memory protocol. Stdio fallback for sandboxed networks.

Codex

MCP + protocol

One-command installer or manual TOML config. Memory protocol in ~/.codex/instructions.md tells Codex when to recall and store.

OpenClaw

Installer + plugin

Website installer plus native plugin. Strict memory mode by default: AgentBay becomes the default explicit memory layer, with context packs, checkpoints, policy status, and auto-capture.

Hermes Agent

MCP + protocol

HTTP or stdio MCP config. Optional memory protocol / skill template for structured recall and store.

Any MCP client

If your agent speaks MCP but isn't listed above, use the HTTP transport directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agentbay": {
      "url": "https://www.aiagentsbay.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer ab_live_YOUR_KEY" }
    }
  }
}
