Last updated: March 2026
1. Sign Up
Go to metamemory.tech/dashboard/login and enter your email. You'll receive a magic link — click it to sign in. No password needed.
After sign-in, you'll land on the dashboard with your API key.
2. Add Your Embedding Provider Key
MetaMemory is BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) — you provide your own API key for an embedding provider. Go to Provider Keys in the dashboard and add a key for one of:
- OpenAI — text-embedding-3-small (recommended)
- Google Gemini — gemini-embedding-001
- Cohere — embed-v4.0
- Voyage AI — voyage-3
- Azure OpenAI, Mistral, Ollama, Qwen
Your key is validated with a test embedding call before saving, then encrypted with AES-256-GCM.
3. Create Your First Memory
curl -X POST https://api.metamemory.tech/v1/memories \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"content": "User prefers dark mode and concise TypeScript examples.",
"userId": "user-123",
"metadata": { "source": "onboarding" }
}'Response:
{
"data": {
"id": "a1b2c3d4-...",
"content": "User prefers dark mode and concise TypeScript examples.",
"tenantId": "your-tenant-id",
"userId": "user-123",
"createdAt": "2026-03-21T..."
},
"metadata": { "timestamp": "..." }
}4. Search Memories

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"query": "What display theme does the user prefer?",
"strategy": "semantic",
"limit": 5
}'The response includes ranked results with similarity scores. The semantic strategy uses your provider's embeddings for cosine similarity search.
