kartik-mem0 2a61fe1a32 fix(n8n): drop Add fields the v3 API does not accept, correct docs
The Add operation exposed app_id, includes, and excludes in Additional
Fields and forwarded them to POST /v3/memories/add/. None of the three
are declared on that endpoint's schema (they belong to MemoryInput, used
by POST /v1/memories/), so they were silently dropped by the server.

app_id was worse than a no-op: the entity-id guard accepted it as
satisfying "at least one entity id", so filling only App ID passed local
validation and then sent a v3 request carrying no scope v3 recognises.
The guard now requires User ID, Agent ID, or Run ID.

Docs corrections alongside it:
- Add: document Custom Instructions and Custom Categories, which the
  node has always supported but the docs never mentioned
- Get Many: document Return All, which the docs omitted entirely
- README: Infer and Wait for Completion are independent controls; the
  README claimed infer=false returns synchronously, contradicting the
  node's own field description and its actual behaviour

title: n8n
description: "Add long-term memory to n8n workflows and AI Agents with the Mem0 community node, no code required."
---
The [`@mem0/n8n-nodes-mem0`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@mem0/n8n-nodes-mem0) community node brings [Mem0](https://mem0.ai) memory to [n8n](https://n8n.io). Add, search, and manage long-term memories inside any workflow, and use it as a tool for the n8n AI Agent.
## Overview
The node wraps the hosted Mem0 REST API and supports six operations on the **Memory** resource:
| Operation | Endpoint |
| --- | --- |
| **Add** | `POST /v3/memories/add/` |
| **Search** | `POST /v3/memories/search/` |
| **Get** | `GET /v1/memories/{id}/` |
| **Get Many** | `POST /v3/memories/` |
| **Update** | `PUT /v1/memories/{id}/` |
| **Delete** | `DELETE /v1/memories/{id}/` |
It is marked `usableAsTool`, so the n8n AI Agent (Tools Agent) can call it directly to remember and recall information.
## Installation
Install it like any n8n community node:
1. In n8n, go to **Settings → Community Nodes → Install**.
2. Enter `@mem0/n8n-nodes-mem0` and confirm.
The node then appears in the nodes panel under the AI category.
## Authentication
Create a **Mem0 API** credential in n8n:
- **API Key**: from the <a href="https://app.mem0.ai/dashboard/api-keys?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=integration-n8n" rel="nofollow">Mem0 API Key dashboard</a>. Sent as `Authorization: Token <key>`.
- **Base URL**: defaults to `https://api.mem0.ai`.
## Operations
### Add
Extracts and stores memories from one or more messages. Provide at least one entity id (**User ID**, or **Agent ID** / **Run ID** in Additional Fields); the node validates this before calling the API.
Additional Fields also expose:
| Field | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| **Metadata (JSON)** | Arbitrary JSON attached to each extracted memory |
| **Infer** | On by default. Turn off to store messages verbatim instead of running LLM extraction |
| **Custom Instructions** | Free-text guidance steering what the extractor keeps or ignores, for this call |
| **Custom Categories** | JSON array of `{category: description}` objects, replacing the project-level catalog for this call |
Extraction is asynchronous. **Wait for Completion** (on by default) polls the event until it finishes and returns the resulting memories; turn it off to return immediately with the event ID.
### Search
Semantic search over stored memories. Provide a **Query**, a **User ID** (required, the API needs an entity filter), and an optional **Limit**.
### Get Many
Lists memories for a **User ID**. Turn on **Return All** to page through every memory automatically; leave it off to fetch a single **Page**. **Page Size** applies either way.
### Get / Update / Delete
Operate on a single memory by **Memory ID**. Update accepts new **Text** and/or **Metadata (JSON)**.
## Choosing a `userId`
The `userId` is a stable string you choose to identify whose memories these are. It is not looked up in the dashboard. Common choices are your app's internal user ID, an email, or a UUID. Use the same value across Add, Search, and Get Many so recall works.
