description: "Add persistent project memory to Kimi Code with automatic capture, automatic recall, Mem0 skills, and tools."
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Kimi Code forgets project decisions between sessions. The Mem0 plugin captures completed work, recalls relevant context before a response, and gives Kimi explicit memory tools and skills.
|
|
|
|
<Info>Current plugin version: `0.3.1`.</Info>
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
1. A Mem0 Platform account and API key:
|
|
- [Sign up at app.mem0.ai](https://app.mem0.ai?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=integration-kimi)
|
|
- [Get your API key](https://app.mem0.ai/dashboard/api-keys?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=integration-kimi) (starts with `m0-`)
|
|
|
|
2. [Kimi Code](https://www.kimi.com/code) with plugin support.
|
|
|
|
3. Python 3.10+ and Git on your machine.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
Export the key in the shell where you start Kimi Code:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export MEM0_API_KEY='your-mem0-api-key'
|
|
kimi
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inside Kimi Code, install the native plugin bundle and reload the session:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/plugins install https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/main/integrations/kimi-plugin
|
|
/reload
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `/plugins info mem0` to confirm that the plugin, MCP server, skills, hooks, and sidekick agent loaded.
|
|
|
|
## What you get
|
|
|
|
- **Automatic capture:** Kimi records completed exchanges locally and flushes durable project knowledge to Mem0 in the background.
|
|
- **Automatic recall:** Relevant memories are added before Kimi answers the first prompt in a session.
|
|
- **Explicit search:** Kimi can call `search_memories` when it needs a more specific answer.
|
|
- **Six memory skills:** Search, status, remember, forget, pause, and resume use the same memory behavior as the other Mem0 coding-agent plugins.
|
|
- **Project scoping:** Memories stay attached to the repository, with separate personal and shared project lanes.
|
|
- **Kimi sidekick:** A focused subagent can investigate or implement a bounded task in a separate context. Filesystem isolation depends on the environment Kimi provides.
|
|
|
|
Credentials are redacted before memory capture. If Mem0 is unavailable, hooks fail open so Kimi can continue its normal work.
|
|
|
|
## How it works
|
|
|
|
Kimi's native lifecycle events are translated into the shared Mem0 memory lifecycle:
|
|
|
|
| Kimi event | What Mem0 does |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `SessionStart` | Loads recent project context |
|
|
| `UserPromptSubmit` | Searches for relevant memories before the response |
|
|
| `PostToolUse` / `PostToolUseFailure` | Records useful tool results and failures |
|
|
| `Stop` | Captures the completed exchange |
|
|
| `PreCompact` / `SessionEnd` | Flushes pending capture in the background |
|
|
| `SubagentStart` / `SubagentStop` | Passes parent context to the Mem0 sidekick and records its lifecycle |
|
|
|
|
## Verify the plugin
|
|
|
|
In one session, say:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Remember exactly: the release codename for this repository is ORCHID-9274.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Start a new Kimi session in the same repository and ask:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
What is the release codename for this repository? Do not infer it from repository files.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Kimi should return `ORCHID-9274` from memory.
|
|
|
|
## Managing the plugin
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/plugins list
|
|
/plugins info mem0
|
|
/plugins disable mem0
|
|
/plugins enable mem0
|
|
/plugins remove mem0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run `/reload` or start a new session after enabling, disabling, or reinstalling the plugin.
|
|
|
|
## Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
| Problem | Fix |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Missing API key | Start Kimi from a shell where `MEM0_API_KEY` is exported. |
|
|
| Plugin changes do not appear | Run `/plugins reload`, then `/reload` or `/new`. |
|
|
| MCP server is disabled | Run `/plugins mcp enable mem0 mem0`, then `/reload`. |
|
|
| No memory in a later session | Wait a moment for the background flush, then ask Kimi to search memory explicitly. |
|
|
| Remove the plugin | Run `/plugins remove mem0`. |
