## FAQ

### Does Remind require an API key or configuration?

No. Remind uses local embeddings via fastembed by default, so it works with no configuration or API key.

### Which MCP tools does Remind expose?

The MCP server exposes remember, recall, snapshot, and apply tools, plus conflict and entity management.

### Where does Remind store memory by default?

Local memory is stored as deterministic JSON records in .remind/memory/, which can be committed with code; SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MySQL URLs are also supported.

### Can I use OpenAI embeddings instead of local ones?

Yes. Install the openai extra and set embedding_provider to openai with your API key.

### How do agents learn to use Remind?

Install the bundled agent skills (capture, context, curate) with remind skill-install for agents like Claude, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode.
