Status

Status

Quick diagnostic for Nowledge Mem connectivity and configuration.

When to Use

• User asks "is my memory working?" or "check status"
• Memory operations are failing or returning errors
• After initial setup to verify everything is connected
• When switching between local and remote mode

Usage

nmem --json status

This shows:

• Connection: whether the Nowledge Mem server is reachable
• Server version: which version of the backend is running
• CLI version: which version of nmem is installed
• Mode: local or remote (with API URL)
• Database: whether the knowledge graph is connected

Troubleshooting

If status fails:

• Ensure the Nowledge Mem desktop app is running, or start the server manually
• Check that nmem is installed: use the desktop app's Install CLI, pip install nmem-cli, uvx --from nmem-cli nmem, or on Arch Linux yay -S nmem-cli / paru -S nmem-cli
• For remote mode, verify ~/.nowledge-mem/config.json has correct apiUrl and apiKey

Native Connector

These skills work in any agent via CLI. For auto-recall, auto-capture, and graph tools, check if your agent has a native Nowledge Mem connector — run the check-integration skill or see https://mem.nowledge.co/docs/integrations
