The official command-line interface for [mem0](https://mem0.ai) — the memory layer for AI agents. Works with the Mem0 Platform API. Available in Python and Node.js.
> **For AI agents:** pass `--agent` (or `--json`) on any command for structured JSON output purpose-built for tool loops — sanitized fields, no colors or spinners, errors as JSON. See [Agent mode](#agent-mode) below.

## Agent mode
Pass `--agent` (or its alias `--json`) as a **global flag** on any command to get output designed for AI agent tool loops:
```bash
mem0 --agent search "user preferences" --user-id alice
mem0 --agent add "User prefers dark mode" --user-id alice
mem0 --agent list --user-id alice
```
Every command returns the same envelope shape:
```json
{
"status": "success",
"command": "search",
"duration_ms": 134,
"scope": { "user_id": "alice" },
"count": 2,
"data": [
{ "id": "abc-123", "memory": "User prefers dark mode", "score": 0.97, "created_at": "2026-01-15", "categories": ["preferences"] }
]
}
```
What agent mode does differently from `--output json`:
- **Sanitized `data`**: only the fields an agent needs (id, memory, score, etc.) — no internal API noise
- **No human output**: spinners, colors, and banners are suppressed entirely
- **Errors as JSON**: errors go to stdout as `{"status": "error", "command": "...", "error": "..."}` with a non-zero exit code
Use `mem0 help --json` to get the full command tree as JSON — useful for agents that need to self-discover available commands.
