Integration Overview

There are three ways to work with your Memoreru data from outside the app. This guide explains what each one offers and how to pick the right one for what you want to do.

Method	How it works	Best for
API	Operate from your own programs	Connecting external apps, automating scheduled tasks
MCP Server	Operate through conversations with an AI assistant	Interactive reads and writes like "add a row to this table"
CLI	Sync local files with commands	Managing content as Markdown/CSV files

All three use the same API key and are available on Light plans and above, including during the Feature Trial period.

Which One Should I Use?

What you want to do	Recommended
Read and write Memoreru data from an external app or script	API
Automate a recurring data import	API
Read and write tables from AI tools like Claude Desktop	MCP Server
Search and create content while chatting with an AI	MCP Server
Publish local Markdown or CSV files to Memoreru as they are	CLI
Track content history with Git	CLI
Update many pages or tables in one batch	CLI

API

Write your own programs to operate Memoreru. You can create, get, update, and delete content, and work with table rows and columns — almost every data operation Memoreru offers.

Use it when:

You want to connect Memoreru with internal systems or other services
You want to automate tasks, such as importing data at a fixed time every day
You need fine-grained operations that MCP or the CLI doesn't cover

Both the MCP Server and the CLI are built on top of this API. The API is the foundation of everything and the most flexible option.

See "API Overview" and "API Examples" for details.

MCP Server

Connect Memoreru to AI tools like Claude Desktop or Cursor, and read and write data through conversation.

Use it when:

You want to ask an AI to do things like "add these three books to my reading log table"
You want an AI to read your table and help with summarizing or organizing
You want to automate data operations without writing any code

Set up the connection once, and from then on you just talk to your AI in plain language. No files to prepare, no commands to type.

See "MCP Server Usage" for details.

CLI

A command-line tool that syncs Markdown, CSV, and JSON files on your computer with Memoreru.

Use it when:

You want to write page drafts as Markdown files locally and publish them in one go
You want to manage table data as CSV
You want to keep content under Git version control
You want a local copy of your Memoreru content

The big difference from the MCP Server is that the CLI works through files on your computer. You can review changes as a diff before publishing, and if several people are editing the same table, the CLI lets you know about conflicting edits when you push.

See "CLI Usage" for details.

Working with AI Assistants

Both the MCP Server and the CLI can be used from AI assistants. Here's how to choose:

Situation	Recommended
You use an AI chat tool such as Claude Desktop	MCP Server
You use Claude Code and want it to edit content you manage as local files	CLI
You use Claude Code and want it to read and write table data directly	MCP Server

As a rule of thumb: use the CLI for anything you want to manage as files, and the MCP Server for direct, on-the-spot data operations. Documents and writing you treat as file assets fit the CLI; tables you use like a database fit the MCP Server.

Common Setup: API Keys

Whichever method you choose, you first need an API key. You can generate one from the "API Keys" card under Settings > Security.

See "API Key Management" for how to generate keys and set access permissions.
