Authorizations

X-Api-Key

string

header

default:sk-ant-local-default

required

OMA workspace API key.

Headers

anthropic-version

string

anthropic-beta

string

Query Parameters

beta

enum<boolean>

required

Selects the beta API contract for this endpoint. Must be true.

Available options:

true

Body

application/json

Request parameters for creating a memory_store.

name

string

required

Human-readable name for the store. Required; 1–255 characters; no control characters. The mount-path slug under /mnt/memory/ is derived from this name (lowercased, non-alphanumeric runs collapsed to a hyphen). Names need not be unique within a workspace.

Required string length: 1 - 255

description

string

Free-text description of what the store contains, up to 1024 characters. Included in the agent's system prompt when the store is attached, so word it to be useful to the agent.

Maximum string length: 1024

metadata

object

Arbitrary key-value tags for your own bookkeeping (such as the end user a store belongs to). Up to 16 pairs; keys 1–64 characters; values up to 512 characters. Not visible to the agent.

Show child attributes

Response

Successful response (OK)

Response from creating a memory_store. Returns the created store.

type

enum<string>

required

Available options:

memory_store

string

required

Unique identifier for the memory store (a memstore_... tagged ID). Use this when attaching the store to a session, or in the {memory_store_id} path parameter of subsequent calls.

name

string

required

Human-readable name for the store. 1–255 characters. The store's mount-path slug under /mnt/memory/ is derived from this name.

created_at

string<date-time>

required

Timestamp when the store was created.

updated_at

string<date-time>

required

Timestamp when the store's name, description, or metadata was last modified. Memory writes inside the store do not advance this.

description

string

Free-text description of what the store contains, up to 1024 characters. Included in the agent's system prompt when the store is attached, so word it to be useful to the agent. Empty string when unset.

metadata

object

Arbitrary key-value tags for your own bookkeeping (such as the end user a store belongs to). Up to 16 pairs; keys 1–64 characters; values up to 512 characters. Returned on retrieve/list but not filterable.

Show child attributes

archived_at

string<date-time> | null

Timestamp when the store was archived, or null if active. Set once and never cleared; archiving is one-way. Archived stores are read-only and cannot be attached to new sessions.
