Quick Start (Backend)

Use this mode if you need a centralized memory server for multiple agents, a team dashboard, or if you are building a SaaS.

1. Setup Server

The easiest way to run the backend is with Docker.

git clone https://github.com/caviraoss/openmemory.git
cd backend
npm install
npm run dev

Server runs on http://localhost:8080

2. Connect via SDK

Once the server is running, you can connect to it using the SDKs in "Client Mode".

JavaScript

import { OpenMemory } from "openmemory-js";

const client = new OpenMemory({
  mode: "remote",
  url: "http://localhost:8080"
});

await client.add("Hello world");
const result = await client.query("Hello");

Python

from openmemory import OpenMemory

client = OpenMemory(mode="remote", url="http://localhost:8080")

client.add("Hello world")
print(client.query("Hello"))
