deepseek-plugin

Mem0 long-term memory as a native DeepSeek Harness (Cordis) plugin.

It gives a Harness agent automatic long-term memory plus two explicit memory tools backed by the Mem0 SDK:

Capability	Does
Auto-recall	Searches Mem0 for the latest human prompt and adds unseen results to the model context
Auto-capture	Stores the human/assistant messages from each completed turn
search_memory	Recall facts from Mem0 relevant to a query
add_memory	Store a fact in Mem0 for future sessions

Unlike the local/file-based memory plugins in the ecosystem, Mem0 is a managed backend: server-side extraction, semantic dedup and conflict resolution, and memories that other agents can retrieve when their user and entity filters match.

Current package version: 0.3.0.

Sidekick is available only in the Claude Code plugin.

How it works

A Cordis plugin is a module exporting apply(ctx, config). This one waits for the Harness tool and system-prompt services, then uses the native extension points:

• system-prompt/assemble recalls memory before a model request.
• session/event captures only completed turns from the durable event stream.
• ctx.tools.register(...) exposes explicit search and add tools.

Completed human and assistant text is preserved after secret redaction, without the former 6,000-character per-message cutoff. Recall queries and displayed tool results retain separate size limits. These behaviors use agent-plugin-core; this integration keeps its native tools and user-based scoping.

Cordis owns listener and tool cleanup when the plugin unmounts. Every automatic path is fail-open: a memory API failure does not block the agent.

[ mem0ai SDK ]  <-- managed memory, owned by Mem0

[ deepseek-plugin: prompt + session listeners, memory tools ]  <-- this package
      |
[ DeepSeek Harness ]  <-- the agent, loaded via cordis.yml

Try it locally

1. Build and pack the plugin:

   cd integrations/deepseek-plugin
   pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
   pnpm build
   mkdir -p /tmp/mem0-deepseek-plugin
   pnpm pack --pack-destination /tmp/mem0-deepseek-plugin
   

2. Set your Mem0 key:

   export MEM0_API_KEY=...
   

3. Install it into a disposable Harness profile:

   DSH_HOME=/tmp/mem0-dsh-dev pnpm dlx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.1-rc.2 \
     plugin --profile headless add /tmp/mem0-deepseek-plugin/mem0-deepseek-plugin-0.3.0.tgz
   

4. Copy cordis.example.yml, set its installed package path and your userId, then run Harness with the same profile:

   DSH_HOME=/tmp/mem0-dsh-dev pnpm dlx @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.1-rc.2 \
     web --patch ./integrations/deepseek-plugin/cordis.example.yml
   

5. Open http://127.0.0.1:3080 and ask the agent to remember something, then recall it in a later turn.

For a Mem0 Platform on-prem or dedicated deployment, point config.host at that base URL (defaults to api.mem0.ai). host overrides the Platform base URL. It does not support the self-hosted Mem0 OSS API.

Configuration

Field	Required	Default	Notes
apiKey	no	$MEM0_API_KEY	Mem0 platform API key
userId	yes		Entity that owns the memories
allowUserOverride	no	false	Permit model-selected access to a different user only in a trusted multi-user deployment
host	no	api.mem0.ai	Platform base URL (on-prem / dedicated)
autoRecall	no	true	Recall relevant memory before model requests
autoCapture	no	true	Store completed human/assistant turns

Memory scope

Automatic capture and recall use the configured userId across sessions. Automatic writes do not attach a repository ID or runId.

Both search_memory and add_memory accept optional agentId and runId. On search, these narrow the returned memories; on add, they attach those identities to the stored memory. Pass a known runId to search memories explicitly saved with that session ID. This does not include automatically captured user-only memories or identify the session making the request.

Per-call userId overrides are rejected unless the operator enables allowUserOverride: true. Automatic recall and capture always use the configured user.

Telemetry

Writes are tagged source="DEEPSEEK_HARNESS". That value has to exist in the backend's EventSource enum for usage to surface by name; until it does, these writes read as OTHERS. It is added by mem0ai/platform#3602, which has to ship before this claim is true.

The plugin also sends usage events (which tool ran, duration, result counts, coarse failure kind) so Mem0 can tell how the plugin is used and where it breaks. These are not anonymous: when an API key is configured they are sent under your Mem0 account email, the same way the SDK attributes its own. Queries, memory text, and entity ids are never sent. Turn it off with MEM0_TELEMETRY=false.

Status

Developer preview. Tracks the DeepSeek Harness v0.1 plugin API, which is young and moving. Harness capability packages are peer dependencies supplied by the host; this package pins matching release-candidate versions for local typechecking and tests.
