MemoryNode is one memory infrastructure layer for AI apps: store facts once, retrieve them on every turn.

Goal: get your first memory working in 5 minutes (console → SDK recall with the same owner id).

Golden path (recommended)

Console quickstart — sign in, save sample memory, run sample search.
Copy your API key from the flow (or Settings → API keys).
Run the SDK quickstart with the same owner id (default-user unless you set MEMORYNODE_USER_ID).

export MEMORYNODE_API_KEY="mn_live_..."
export MEMORYNODE_USER_ID="default-user"   # match console onboarding unless you chose another id

import { MemoryNode } from "@memorynodeai/sdk";

const memory = new MemoryNode(process.env.MEMORYNODE_API_KEY!);
const ownerId = process.env.MEMORYNODE_USER_ID ?? "default-user";

await memory.remember("User prefers bullet points.", { ownerId });
const hits = await memory.recall("how should I format answers?", { ownerId, explain: true });

Other paths

Path	Best for	Time
Console quickstart	Fastest — no local setup	~5 min
SDK quickstart	Node/TypeScript apps	~5 min
Node HTTP quickstart	curl-style, any language	~5 min
Python quickstart	Python backends	~5 min
MCP	Cursor, Claude Desktop, agents	~5 min

Owner id (important)

All memories are scoped by user_id / owner_id. If you omit it, the API and SDK default to default-user. Use the same id in the console, SDK, and HTTP examples or search will look empty.
