OpenClaw

Option 1: CLI (recommended)

The simplest way to add HyperMemory to OpenClaw is through the CLI. Ask OpenClaw to add it:

1. Tell OpenClaw to add the HyperMemory CLI.
2. Provide the server URL: https://api.hypermemory.io/mcp
3. OpenClaw adds the connection and prompts you for your API key.
4. Enter your API key.
5. Done.

Generate API keys at app.hypermemory.io under API Keys in the main navigation.

Option 2: MCP server configuration

If you want to add HyperMemory as an MCP server directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypermemory": {
      "url": "https://api.hypermemory.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

OpenClaw handles the OAuth + PKCE flow — you sign in with GitHub, Google, or email when prompted.

To use an API key instead of OAuth:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hypermemory": {
      "url": "https://api.hypermemory.io/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer hm_YOUR_KEY_HERE"
      }
    }
  }
}

Verify

List available tools in your agent. You should see 12 hm_* tools. See API Reference for the full list.

Agent workflow

A typical OpenClaw agent using HyperMemory:

1. Start of conversation: call hm_get_overview + hm_recall to load context
2. When new info appears: call hm_recall to check for duplicates, then hm_store
3. Dense text: call hm_ingest to decompose a large block of text into graph entities automatically
4. Build connections: relationships are created automatically during hm_store and enrichment
5. End of conversation: important context is already persisted for next time
