§ Interfaces

MCP client. One client, many servers.

Talk to OctaMem from your own Python using the standard MCP SDK. The right path when you're writing a custom agent that needs to call OctaMem alongside other MCP servers in the same loop.

Install

We use the official Python MCP SDK. OctaMem has no separate MCP client, the standard one works.

install.sh

Shell

pip install "mcp[cli]"
export OCTA_API_KEY="oct_live_..."

Connect and call

OctaMem speaks MCP over streamable HTTP. Open a session, list tools, and call remember and recall.

mcp_client.py

Python

import asyncio
import os
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

OCTA_URL = "https://mcp.octamem.com"
TOKEN = os.environ["OCTA_API_KEY"]

async def main():
    async with streamablehttp_client(
        OCTA_URL,
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
    ) as (read, write, _):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()

            # List tools exposed by the server.
            tools = await session.list_tools()
            for t in tools.tools:
                print(t.name, ",", t.description)

            # Capture a memory.
            await session.call_tool("remember", {
                "content": "Beta opens March 20.",
                "type": "episodic",
                "scope": "acme/launch",
            })

            # Recall it.
            res = await session.call_tool("recall", {
                "query": "When does beta open?",
                "scope": "acme/launch",
            })
            print(res.content)

asyncio.run(main())

Common issues

401 Unauthorized. Confirm OCTA_API_KEYis set and isn’t the placeholder string from the snippet above.
SSE timeout on long recalls. Bump the streamable HTTP timeout in the client config; OctaMem holds the connection open while it gathers context.
Tool not found. Compare the name you passed to call_tool against the output of session.list_tools(). Tool names are versioned, see the changelog if a name changed.
