@mem0/opencode-plugin
Persistent memory for OpenCode. Your agent remembers decisions, preferences, and learnings across sessions automatically.
Install
opencode plugin @mem0/opencode-plugin
This adds the plugin to your ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json. The plugin registers its memory tools and skills itself — there is no MCP server to configure.
Or let your agent do it — paste this into OpenCode:
Install @mem0/opencode-plugin by following https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mem0ai/mem0/main/integrations/mem0-plugin/.opencode-plugin/README.md
Get your API key (free): app.mem0.ai/dashboard/api-keys
echo 'export MEM0_API_KEY="m0-your-key"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
Restart OpenCode.
What's included
| Component | Description |
|---|---|
| 9 Native Memory Tools | add_memory, search_memories, get_memories, update_memory, delete_memory, and more — registered as OpenCode tools, backed by the mem0ai SDK (no MCP server required) |
| Lifecycle Hooks | Auto-search on session start and every prompt, error memory lookup, compaction context, secret redaction |
| 9 Skills | /mem0-remember, /mem0-tour, /mem0-search, /mem0-status, /mem0-scope, /mem0-dream, /mem0-forget, /mem0-pin, /mem0-context-loader — discovered in place from the plugin via OpenCode's skills.paths |
Hooks
Pure TypeScript — no Python, no shell scripts. Memory operations are native OpenCode tools backed by the mem0ai SDK directly.
| Hook | Event | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Config | config |
Registers the /mem0-* slash commands (via config.command) and adds the plugin's own opencode-skills/ dir to OpenCode's skills.paths for in-place skill discovery — no copying into ~/.config/opencode/skills |
| Chat message | chat.message |
Loads prior memories on session start, searches relevant memories before each prompt, auto-captures learnings periodically |
| Pre-tool | tool.execute.before |
Blocks MEMORY.md writes, steering them to the add_memory tool |
| Post-tool | tool.execute.after |
Scans bash errors and pre-fetches related memories |
| Messages transform | experimental.chat.messages.transform |
Injects memory context (session memories, search results, error lookups) into the prompt |
| Compaction | experimental.session.compacting |
Stores session state memory, then injects prior memories into compaction context so nothing is lost |
| Shell env | shell.env |
Exports MEM0_USER_ID, MEM0_APP_ID, MEM0_SESSION_ID, and MEM0_BRANCH to shell |
Memory Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
add_memory |
Save text or conversation history |
search_memories |
Semantic search across memories |
get_memories |
List memories with filters and pagination |
get_memory |
Retrieve a specific memory by ID |
update_memory |
Overwrite a memory's text by ID |
delete_memory |
Delete a single memory by ID |
delete_all_memories |
Bulk delete all memories in scope |
delete_entities |
Delete an entity and its memories |
list_entities |
List users/agents/apps stored in Mem0 |
Memory scope
Every memory tool accepts an optional scope, and you can set the default
scope (used when none is passed) with the /mem0-scope skill:
| Scope | Reads | Writes |
|---|---|---|
project (default) |
this repo (user_id + app_id) |
this repo |
session |
this run (adds run_id) |
this run |
global |
all your projects (app_id="*") |
user-wide (drops app_id) |
/mem0-scope # show the current default scope
/mem0-scope global # save & search across all your projects by default
/mem0-scope project # back to repo-only (default)
The default persists in ~/.mem0/settings.json (default_scope) and is read
fresh on each memory operation, so a change applies immediately — no restart.
delete_all_memories always requires an explicit scope="global" to delete
user-wide, so changing the default can't trigger a cross-project wipe.
Verify
Start OpenCode and ask: "Search my memories for recent decisions"
If the mem0 tools respond, you're all set.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| No tools appearing | Restart OpenCode after installing |
| 401 Unauthorized | echo $MEM0_API_KEY must print your m0- key |
| Plugin not loading | Run opencode plugin @mem0/opencode-plugin again |
