SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mem0ai.

What problem does it solve? Setting up mem0 memory for a new project involves multiple manual steps—API key configuration, MCP server authentication, project file import, and category setup—that are easy to miss or misconfigure. ## Core Features & Use Cases - API Key Setup: Detects existing MEM0_API_KEY configuration and guides users through CLI or Desktop app setup when missing. - MCP Connection Verification: Confirms the mem0 MCP server is connected and its tools are available before proceeding. - Project File Import: Imports CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and similar project files into mem0 for persistent context. - Coding Categories: Installs development-optimized memory categories automatically with idempotent, self-caching behavior. - Use Case: A developer clones a new repository and runs the onboarding wizard to activate mem0 memory in about 60 seconds, ensuring all project context is captured from the first session. ## Quick Start Run the mem0 onboarding wizard to set up memory for this project.

Frequently Asked Questions about onboard

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up mem0 for a new project?

Run the onboarding wizard, which walks through API key setup, MCP connection verification, project file import, and coding category installation in order. The full process takes about 60 seconds and must complete each step before moving to the next.

How do I configure the MEM0_API_KEY environment variable?

Get your key from the mem0 dashboard, then either add 'export MEM0_API_KEY' to your shell profile for CLI use or add it through the Desktop app's local environment editor. The Desktop app does not inherit custom env vars from shell profiles, so use the app editor for Desktop sessions.

Why are mem0 MCP tools not available after setup?

MCP tools may be missing if the API key is unset, the plugin is not installed, or the MCP server shows an error. Verify the key, check /plugins and /mcp output, then restart Claude Code and run the onboarding wizard again.

Which project files does mem0 import automatically?

mem0 imports CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .cursorrules, .windsurfrules, and mem0.md when a session starts. The onboarding wizard verifies import status and can trigger a re-import if files are missing from mem0 storage.

What happens if the mem0ai SDK is not installed?

The plugin installs the mem0ai SDK automatically on session start into a virtual environment. If the categories step fails with an import error, run the ensure_deps.sh script, which is silent, idempotent, and safe to run anytime.
