# memory.wiki API Integration Guide

> This document outlines the technical specifications for interacting with the memory.wiki API, focusing on authentication protocols and document management endpoints. It provides a framework for programmatic access via CLI, MCP, or direct HTTP requests.

## Key claims

- [EXTRACTED] The memory.wiki API enforces a rate limit of 10 requests per minute per IP address [doc-1].
- [EXTRACTED] Authentication is progressive, ranging from unauthenticated access for basic operations to JWT-based identity for CLI and MCP tools [doc-1].
- [EXTRACTED] When creating a document, the API returns an `editToken` which can be used to manage updates or deletions for that specific resource [doc-1].
- [INFERRED] The platform is designed to support multi-modal input sources, as evidenced by the `source` parameter which explicitly categorizes origins like "vscode," "github," and "mcp" [doc-1].
- [AMBIGUOUS] While the API supports `x-user-id` and `x-user-email` headers for ownership verification, the documentation does not specify the exact mechanism for how `allowed_emails` are configured or managed [doc-1].

## Cross-references

- **Authentication Methods**: The API documentation distinguishes between JWT-based authentication (used by CLI/MCP) and token-based authentication (using the `editToken` returned upon creation) [doc-1]. These represent two distinct security tiers: one for persistent user identity and one for granular document-level control.

## Open questions / gaps

- What are the specific error codes returned when the 10 request/min rate limit is exceeded?
- How are `folderId` values generated or retrieved?
- Is there a programmatic way to list documents, or is access strictly limited to fetching by known ID?

## Provenance

- [doc-1]: Provides the technical specifications, endpoint definitions, and authentication requirements for the memory.wiki platform.
