Setup
pmb setup [agent]
Recommended one-command setup. Detects your agent, picks the memory model, wires
MCP + rules + hooks, warms the engine, and starts the shared daemon - in one
guided flow. Omit agent to auto-detect.
pmb init [--name NAME]
Initialize a workspace in the current directory. Optional - a workspace
auto-detects from cwd.
Connect an agent
pmb connect <agent>
Wire PMB into an agent’s MCP config and install its rules. Points at the shared
daemon by default; --stdio keeps a per-client server.
Agents:
claude-code, cursor, codex, windsurf, gemini, vscode,
zed, opencode, continue.Models & daemon
pmb model [light | balanced | best]
Switch the embedding model later: download, re-embed memory, and restart the
daemon in one step. Omit the arg for the interactive menu.
pmb daemon start | stop | status | restart
Manage the one warm daemon (Engine + model + LanceDB) that N clients share for
instant recall.
pmb mcp serve | status | proxy
Run a shared HTTP MCP server (team mode), list running servers + their RAM, or
run the stdio↔daemon bridge (proxy, auto-wired for Codex).
Diagnose
pmb doctor
Diagnose the install and runtime state. --remote user@host:/path prints an
SSH-tunneled MCP snippet.
