Configuration (Provider / Config)

Default location:

• ~/.memo/config.toml

Override via environment variable:

• MEMO_HOME=/path/to/dir -> config file becomes $MEMO_HOME/config.toml

You can also use multiple MEMO_HOME directories for separate setups (for example work/personal, different base URLs).

Minimal example (DeepSeek):

current_provider = "deepseek"
stream_output = false

[[providers.deepseek]]
name = "deepseek"
env_api_key = "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"
model = "deepseek-chat"
base_url = "https://api.deepseek.com"

Field descriptions:

• current_provider: current default provider (used by /models and startup selection)
• stream_output: whether streaming output is enabled
• providers.<name>: provider list (multiple entries supported)
  • env_api_key: env var to read API key from
  • model: model ID
  • base_url: OpenAI-compatible endpoint (optional)

Multi-provider Example

current_provider = "deepseek"
stream_output = false

[[providers.deepseek]]
name = "deepseek"
env_api_key = "DEEPSEEK_API_KEY"
model = "deepseek-chat"
base_url = "https://api.deepseek.com"

[[providers.openai]]
name = "openai"
env_api_key = "OPENAI_API_KEY"
model = "gpt-4.1-mini"
base_url = "https://api.openai.com/v1"

When stream_output=true, Memo prefers a streaming response path. In the current implementation, tool definitions are not sent in that path, so tool calling can be limited (better for plain Q&A/summarization).

If you need stable tool usage (read/write/edit/bash, etc.), keep:

stream_output = false

You can define MCP servers in config.toml under [mcp_servers.<name>] or manage them with memo mcp add/remove.
