You are integrating Supermemory into my application. Supermemory provides user memory, semantic search, and automatic knowledge extraction for AI applications.
Note: You can always reference the documentation by using the **SearchSupermemoryDocs MCP** or running a web search tool for content on **supermemory.ai/docs**.
CANONICAL API SURFACE (use these, nothing else):
- Auth header: `Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY` — the only supported auth header
- Write content: POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/documents
- Search: POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v4/search
- Profile + search: POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v4/profile
- Settings: PATCH https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/settings
- Scoping: `containerTag` (singular string) in the JSON body — never in a header
- SDK: `client.documents.add()`, `client.search.memories()`, `client.profile()`
DO NOT USE — these are deprecated, undocumented, or fabricated by previous AI codegen:
- Endpoints: /v1/anything, /v3/memories, /v3/search (use /v3/documents and /v4/search)
- Headers: x-supermemory-api-key, x-api-key, x-sm-user-id, x-sm-project,
x-project-id, X-Workspace-Id (always use Authorization: Bearer)
- Body keys: containerTags (plural array), userId, spaces, schema, container,
tags (top-level), filter (singular) (use containerTag + filters)
- SDK calls: client.search.execute, client.documents.add (use client.add),
client.documents.deleteBulk, client.documents.batch_add,
client.memories.updateMemory (the real method is client.memories.update)
- Kwargs: chunk_threshold (use `threshold`), sort, order, include_content,
include_full_docs, timeout (as an SDK kwarg)
NOTE on memory mutation: `client.memories.update`, `client.memories.delete`, and
`client.memories.forget` ARE real and supported — but most apps don't need them.
Memories are auto-extracted from documents. Only reach for these if you're exposing
a "manage my memories" UI to end users or agents.
- Mixing: `rerank` and `rewriteQuery` are valid on /v4/search ONLY — never on /v3/search
SCOPING IS LOAD-BEARING. Every write and every search MUST include `containerTag`.
If you omit it, every user's data collapses into the API key's default bucket — this
is the single most common bug in AI-generated Supermemory integrations.
STEP 1: ASK ME THESE QUESTIONS
1. What are you building?
- Personal chatbot/assistant
- Team knowledge base
- Customer support bot
- Document Q&A
- Other
2. How do you want to integrate?
- Vercel AI SDK (@supermemory/tools)
- OpenAI plugins
- Direct SDK (supermemory npm/pip)
- Direct API calls
3. Data model?
- Individual users only → containerTag: userId
- Organizations only → containerTag: orgId
- Both users AND orgs → ask for strategy
4. Do you want USER PROFILES?
User profiles are automatically-maintained facts about users (what they like, what they're working on, preferences).
- Yes (RECOMMENDED) → Use client.profile() to get context
- No → Just use search
5. How should I retrieve context?
- OPTION A: One call with search included → profile({ containerTag, q: userMessage })
- OPTION B: Separate calls → profile() for facts, search() for memories
STEP 2: INSTALL
# Get API key: https://console.supermemory.ai
npm install supermemory # or: pip install supermemory
# For Vercel AI SDK: npm install @supermemory/tools
export SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY="sm_..."
STEP 3: CONFIGURE SETTINGS (DO THIS FIRST)
```typescript
// PATCH https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/settings
fetch('https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/settings', {
method: 'PATCH',
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY}`,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
},
body: JSON.stringify({
shouldLLMFilter: true,
filterPrompt: `This is a [your app description]. containerTag is [userId/orgId]. We store [what data].`
})
})
```
STEP 4: CONTAINER TAG STRATEGY
Based on their data model answer:
USER-ONLY APP:
```typescript
containerTag: userId // Each user's memories are isolated
```
ORG-ONLY APP:
```typescript
containerTag: orgId // Org members share memories
```
BOTH (ask which):
- Option A: `containerTag: \`\${userId}-\${orgId}\``
- Option B: `containerTag: orgId, metadata: { userId }`
- Option C: `containerTag: userId, metadata: { orgId }`
STEP 5: INTEGRATION CODE
Based on their integration choice:
--- VERCEL AI SDK ---
```typescript
import { streamText } from 'ai'
import { anthropic } from '@ai-sdk/anthropic'
import { supermemoryTools } from '@supermemory/tools/ai-sdk'
// Option 1: Agent tools (recommended for agentic flows)
const result = await streamText({
model: anthropic('claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022'),
prompt: userMessage,
tools: supermemoryTools(process.env.SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY, {
containerTag: userId // singular string — never an array
})
})
// Agent gets searchMemories, addMemory, fetchMemory tools
// Option 2: Profile middleware (automatic context injection)
import { withSupermemory } from '@supermemory/tools/ai-sdk'
const modelWithMemory = withSupermemory(anthropic('claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022'), {
containerTag: userId,
customId: 'conversation-1',
})
const result = await generateText({
model: modelWithMemory,
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: userMessage }]
})
// Profile is automatically injected into context
```
--- DIRECT SDK (WITH PROFILES) ---
```typescript
import Supermemory from 'supermemory'
const client = new Supermemory()
// Before each LLM call:
const { profile, searchResults } = await client.profile({
containerTag: userId,
q: userMessage // Include this if they chose OPTION A (one call)
// Omit if they chose OPTION B (separate calls)
})
// Build context
const context = `
Static facts: ${profile.static.join('\n')}
Recent context: ${profile.dynamic.join('\n')}
${searchResults ? `Memories: ${searchResults.results.map(r => r.memory).join('\n')}` : ''}
`
// Send to LLM
const messages = [
{ role: 'system', content: `User context:\n${context}` },
{ role: 'user', content: userMessage }
]
// After LLM responds:
await client.add({
content: `user: ${userMessage}\nassistant: ${response}`,
containerTag: userId
})
```
--- DIRECT SDK (NO PROFILES) ---
```typescript
import Supermemory from 'supermemory'
const client = new Supermemory()
// Search for relevant memories
const results = await client.search({
q: userMessage,
containerTag: userId,
searchMode: 'hybrid', // Searches memories + document chunks
limit: 5
})
// Build context
const context = results.results.map(r => r.memory || r.chunk).join('\n')
// Send to LLM with context
const messages = [
{ role: 'system', content: `Relevant context:\n${context}` },
{ role: 'user', content: userMessage }
]
// Store the conversation
await client.add({
content: `user: ${userMessage}\nassistant: ${response}`,
containerTag: userId
})
```
--- PYTHON VERSION ---
```python
from supermemory import Supermemory
client = Supermemory()
# With profiles (if they want it)
profile_data = client.profile(
container_tag=user_id,
q=user_message # Include if OPTION A, omit if OPTION B
)
context = f"""
Static: {chr(10).join(profile_data.profile.static)}
Dynamic: {chr(10).join(profile_data.profile.dynamic)}
"""
# Store conversation
client.add(content=f"user: {user_message}\\nassistant: {response}", container_tag=user_id)
```
--- DIRECT API ---
```bash
# Add memory
curl -X POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/documents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"content": "conversation", "containerTag": "userId"}'
# Get profile
curl -X POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v4/profile \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"containerTag": "userId", "q": "search query"}'
# Search
curl -X POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v4/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"q": "query", "containerTag": "userId", "searchMode": "hybrid"}'
```
STEP 6: FILE UPLOADS (if they need it)
```typescript
// Files are automatically extracted (PDFs, images with OCR, videos with transcription)
const formData = new FormData()
formData.append('file', fileBlob)
formData.append('containerTag', userId)
await fetch('https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/documents/file', {
method: 'POST',
headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY}` },
body: formData
})
// Processing is async - check status before assuming searchable
// GET /v3/documents/{documentId}
```
STEP 7: SEARCH MODES
```typescript
// HYBRID (recommended) - searches memories + document chunks
searchMode: 'hybrid'
// MEMORIES ONLY - just extracted memories, no original text
searchMode: 'memories'
```
STEP 8: METADATA FILTERS (if they need secondary filtering)
```typescript
// Always against /v4/search — rerank/rewriteQuery/filters are v4-only
await client.search.memories({
q: query,
containerTag: userId,
filters: {
AND: [
{ key: 'type', value: 'conversation', type: 'string_equal' },
{ key: 'timestamp', value: '2024', type: 'string_contains' }
]
}
})
```
KEY POINTS:
1. Configure settings FIRST with filterPrompt
2. User profiles = automatic facts about users (profile.static + profile.dynamic)
3. profile({ containerTag, q }) combines profile + search in ONE call
4. Search modes: 'hybrid' (recommended) or 'memories'
5. File extraction is automatic - no config needed
6. Store conversations after each interaction
7. containerTag should match what you put in filterPrompt
TESTING:
```bash
# 1. Configure settings
curl -X PATCH https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/settings \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"shouldLLMFilter": true, "filterPrompt": "..."}'
# 2. Add test memory
curl -X POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v3/documents \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"content": "Test", "containerTag": "test_user"}'
# 3. Get profile
curl -X POST https://api.supermemory.ai/v4/profile \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $SUPERMEMORY_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"containerTag": "test_user"}'
```
