Memory remember
POST /api/memory/rememberStore a piece of text for later similarity recall - a per-wallet semantic index an agent cannot host in-session. Send POST /api/memory/remember with the required field text and pay $0.003 per call over x402 with USDC on an EVM chain (the paying wallet is the identity). It returns a JSON object with id, owner and stored.
Returns an id. Prefer memory-write for structured state you will look up by exact key; this pair is for fuzzy, meaning-based retrieval. Pair with /api/memory/recall to retrieve by meaning, not exact key.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
text | string | yes | Text to remember (max 8KB) Also accepted as content, str, string, input, body, data. |
meta | any | no | Optional JSON metadata stored alongside |
owner | string | no | Optional 0x namespace (requires a readwrite grant) |
Example request
curl -i -X POST https://agent402.tools/api/memory/remember \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"text":"The deploy failed because the Railway build ran out of memory.","meta":{"topic":"ops"}}'
Without payment this returns HTTP 402 Payment Required with the exact price for memory-remember; any x402 v2 or MPP client pays it and retries.
Example response
{
"id": "abc123",
"owner": "0x…",
"stored": true
}
| Field | Type | Always present | In the example |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | yes | abc123 |
owner | string | yes | 0x… |
stored | boolean | yes | true |

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for memory-remember; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY (wallet only for this tool). Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.
Errors and behavior
textis required. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carrieserror,tool,expected,requiredandexample, so the caller can correct it.- A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402 or MPP: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails.
- Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier.
- Identity-bound: results are keyed to the wallet that signed the payment, so only EVM x402 payments are accepted; credits keys and Tempo are refused.
- A
GETorHEADto /api/memory/remember returns the same 402 quote, so the price can be read without a body. - An
Idempotency-Keyheader makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).
Paid call (JavaScript agent)
import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";
const client = new x402Client();
client.setSpendControls?.(false); // keep your own spending ceiling in code
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);
const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/memory/remember", {
method: "POST",
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" },
body: JSON.stringify({
"text": "The deploy failed because the Railway build ran out of memory.",
"meta": {
"topic": "ops"
}
}),
});
