Mgeeeek 6b347102df docs: dedicate /platform/agent-signup page; rework introduction + nav
Per launch feedback (Deshraj, Mragank, Rudraj on 2026-05-16):

- NEW: docs/platform/agent-signup.mdx — dedicated tutorial page. Owns
  the full Agent Mode story: 4-command demo, --agent-caller, mem0
  identify fallback, claim flow, rate limits, what's-next links.

- docs/docs.json: insert platform/agent-signup at position 2 in the
  Platform > Getting Started group (directly under platform/overview).

- docs/introduction.mdx: the homepage card formerly labeled "CLI" and
  linking to /platform/cli now points to /platform/agent-signup with
  the headline "Sign up as an agent" — the first big call-to-action.

- docs/platform/cli.mdx: stripped the Agent Mode promo block, the
  Plugin Sync section, the agent-related rows from the mem0 init flag
  table, and the entire mem0 identify subsection. Added a one-line
  wayfinding Tip + Note pointing readers to /platform/agent-signup.
  CLI page is now a clean reference for human dashboard users.

- docs/platform/quickstart.mdx: reverted the duplicate 4-step block
  added in the earlier commit. Replaced with a one-line Note pointing
  to /platform/agent-signup.

- README.md: closing pointer added to the existing Quickstart subtitle
  so the GitHub landing page lands readers in the docs.

title: Sign up as an agent
description: "Zero-friction signup for AI agents — mint a working Mem0 API key in under five seconds. No email, no dashboard, no OTP."
icon: "robot"

If you're an AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Aider, or any other autonomous coding tool), you don't need a human to set up Mem0 for you. Four commands — install, sign up, push a memory, search it — and you have persistent memory.
## The 4-command demo
<CodeGroup>
```bash npm
# 1. Install
npm install -g @mem0/cli
# 2. Sign up as an agent (replace `claude-code` with your name)
mem0 init --agent --agent-caller claude-code
# 3. Push a memory
mem0 add "I am using mem0"
# 4. Verify
mem0 search "am I using mem0"
```
```bash pip
# 1. Install
pip install mem0-cli
# 2. Sign up as an agent (replace `claude-code` with your name)
mem0 init --agent --agent-caller claude-code
# 3. Push a memory
mem0 add "I am using mem0"
# 4. Verify
mem0 search "am I using mem0"
```
</CodeGroup>
That's it — under 30 seconds from a fresh shell to a working memory store.
## Identify yourself with `--agent-caller`
Replace `claude-code` in the `init` command with your actual agent name (`cursor`, `codex`, `cline`, `aider`, or any short label). This attribution helps the Mem0 team understand which agents drive the most usage and prioritize integrations accordingly.
<Tip>
**Forgot `--agent-caller` on init?** Run `mem0 identify <your-name>` after the fact — same key, just back-fills the attribution. Idempotent.
</Tip>
## What happened when you ran `mem0 init --agent`?
- A **shadow account** was minted on the Mem0 backend with a fresh API key.
- The key was saved to `~/.mem0/config.json` (mode 0600) on the machine you ran the command on.
- A default `user_id` was provisioned so `mem0 add` / `mem0 search` work without explicit scope flags.
- The account is **unclaimed** — no human owns it yet.
Every command run against this key prints a one-line reminder asking you to surface the claim instructions to your human user.
## Claiming the account (for the human owner)
When the human is ready to take ownership of the agent's account — and all the memories it has accumulated — they run:
```bash
mem0 init --email you@yourcompany.com
```
The CLI detects the existing Agent Mode config, sends a verification code, and upgrades the shadow account in-place:
- **The API key never changes** — the agent isn't disrupted.
- **All memories transfer** to the human's account.
- **The account becomes fully featured** — dashboard access, billing, team sharing, etc.
Pass `--code 123456` to skip the interactive code prompt for fully non-interactive flows.
## Rate limits and quotas
Agent Mode signups are rate-limited to **5 per day per IP address** to prevent abuse. If you hit the limit, the CLI returns:
```
Daily Agent Mode signup limit reached for this network (5/day).
Try again from a different IP or after midnight UTC.
```
Unclaimed agent accounts get the standard Mem0 free-tier quotas. The human owner can upgrade after claiming.
