status

name: status description: Check whether Nowledge Mem is reachable and working. Trigger when memory commands fail, the user asks about Mem status, or during first-time setup.

Quick health check: is Nowledge Mem running, reachable, and configured correctly?

Command

nmem --json status

Interpretation

• If healthy, report briefly (mode, server version, memory count) and continue.
• If unreachable, suggest checking:
  1. Local mode: Is the Nowledge Mem desktop app running?
  2. Remote mode: Is ~/.nowledge-mem/config.json configured correctly?
  3. Auth errors: Is the API key valid?

When to use

• Memory commands are returning errors.
• User asks "is Mem working?" or similar.
• First time using Nowledge Mem in a new environment.
• After changing configuration.
