The Supermemory CLI is the complete interface to Supermemory from the terminal. It lets you add memories, search, manage documents, configure projects, connect external data sources, and administer teams — all programmatically. Installation & Auth
Install globally
npm install -g @supermemory/cli
Authenticate (opens browser OAuth flow)
supermemory login
Or use an API key directly
supermemory login --api-key sm_abc_xxx
Check auth status
supermemory whoami Configuration The CLI supports three config scopes: Scope File Use Case project .supermemory/config.json (gitignored) Per-machine secrets, API keys team .supermemory/team.json (committed) Shared tag, team-wide defaults global ~/.config/supermemory/config.json All projects on this machine
Interactive setup wizard
supermemory init
Non-interactive
supermemory init --scope project --tag my-bot supermemory init --scope team --tag shared-project supermemory init --scope global --output json

supermemory search
"preferences"
--threshold
0.5
Options:
--tag
Store a memory

"Discussed Q3 roadmap"
--tag
meetings
--metadata
'{"type": "decision"}'
Options:
--tag
Forget by memory ID
supermemory forget mem_abc123 --tag default

Common Patterns Pipe content from other tools
Ingest git log
git log --oneline -20 | supermemory add --stdin --tag git-history
Ingest command output
curl -s https://api.example.com/docs | supermemory add --stdin --tag api-docs
Pipe search results to jq
supermemory search "auth" --json | jq '.results[].memory' Scripting with JSON output
All commands support --json for machine-readable output
supermemory search "query" --json supermemory tags list --json supermemory profile user_123 --json supermemory status --json CI/CD integration
Use env var for auth
export SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY = sm_abc_xxx
Ingest docs on deploy
supermemory add ./docs/api-reference.md --tag api-docs --id api-ref-latest
Check status
supermemory status --json | jq '.memoryCount'
