OpenClaw

Connect OpenClaw to PowerMem through the memory-powermem plugin.

Install the OpenClaw plugin:

openclaw plugins install memory-powermem

By default, the plugin runs in CLI mode: it invokes pmem, stores data under ~/.openclaw/, and uses the model that OpenClaw already injects. No separate PowerMem server is required for a single-user local setup.

Manual setup​

Use HTTP mode when you want OpenClaw to share a team PowerMem backend:

powermem-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8848

Then configure the plugin's requestConfig.memory_db to point at the server URL, for example http://localhost:8848.

Verify​

  1. Start OpenClaw with the plugin enabled.
  2. Ask OpenClaw to remember a probe such as PowerMem OpenClaw probe: dragonfruit-zx9.
  3. Ask OpenClaw to recall dragonfruit-zx9.
  4. Confirm the probe appears in the response.

Troubleshooting​

  • If CLI mode fails, confirm pmem is available on PATH.
  • If HTTP mode fails, confirm http://localhost:8848/api/v1/system/health is healthy.
  • If recall returns nothing, confirm the same user/agent scope is used for write and search.

Uninstall​

Remove the OpenClaw plugin using OpenClaw's plugin management command. Do not delete ~/.openclaw/ memory data unless you explicitly want to remove stored memories.
