Mem0 Export

Export all memories for the current project to a portable Markdown file.

Execution

Step 1: Resolve identity

Determine the active identity:

• user_id from MEM0_USER_ID env var, else $USER, else "default"
• project_id (used as app_id) from MEM0_PROJECT_ID env var, or via the project resolver

Step 2: Fetch all memories

Call get_memories with:

• filters={"AND": [{"user_id": "<active_user_id>"}, {"app_id": "<active_project_id>"}]}
• page_size=200

If the response is paginated (i.e. the result contains a next cursor or the count equals page_size), continue fetching pages until all memories are retrieved.

Step 3: Format each memory as a YAML-frontmatter block

For each memory record, produce a block in this exact format:

---
id: <memory.id>
created_at: <memory.created_at>
type: <memory.metadata.type or "">
confidence: <memory.metadata.confidence or "">
branch: <memory.metadata.branch or "">
files: <memory.metadata.files joined with ", " or "">
categories: <memory.categories joined with ", " or "">
---
<memory.memory or memory content string>
 

Notes:

• The --- delimiters must be on their own lines with no extra whitespace.
• files and categories are written as comma-separated values on a single line.
• Leave a blank line after the content before the next --- (for readability).
• If a field is missing or null, write an empty string (not "null").

Step 4: Write the export file

Determine the output filename:

mem0-export-<project_id>-<YYYY-MM-DD>.md

Where <YYYY-MM-DD> is today's date in UTC.

Write all formatted blocks to this file using the Write tool (or equivalent). The file is written to the current working directory.

Step 5: Print summary

Exported <N> memories to <filename>

Where <N> is the total number of memory blocks written.

Error Handling

• If get_memories returns an error or zero memories, print:

`` No memories found for project <project_id>. Nothing exported. ``

• If the write fails, report the error to the user.
