-> **Agent Mode — for AI agents setting up Mem0 autonomously.** Run `mem0 init --agent --agent-caller <your-name> --json` (after `pip install mem0-cli` or `npm install -g @mem0/cli`), replacing `<your-name>` with your AI agent identity (e.g. `claude-code`, `cursor`, `codex`). This mints an evaluation Mem0 API key in <5 seconds — no email, no dashboard, no OTP. If you forgot to pass `--agent-caller`, run `mem0 identify <your-name>` after init. Use the key immediately against the Platform or the MCP server. The human owner can claim ownership later with `mem0 init --email <their-email>`: memories transfer, the same key keeps working, and the agent isn't disrupted.
+### Sign up as an agent
+
+AI agents can mint a working Mem0 API key in under five seconds — no email, no dashboard, no OTP. Four commands end-to-end:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Install
+npm install -g @mem0/cli      # or: pip install mem0-cli
+
+# 2. Sign up as an agent (replace `claude-code` with your name)
+mem0 init --agent --agent-caller claude-code
+
+# 3. Add a memory
+mem0 add "I am using mem0"
+
+# 4. Search
+mem0 search "am I using mem0"
+```
+
+The human owner can claim the account later with `mem0 init --email <their-email>` — same key, memories preserved. Full guide: [Sign up as an agent](https://docs.mem0.ai/platform/agent-signup).

+---
+
+If you're an AI agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Aider, or any other autonomous coding tool), you don't need a human to set up Mem0 for you. Four commands — install, sign up, push a memory, search it — and you have persistent memory.
+
+## The 4-command demo
+
+<CodeGroup>
+```bash npm
+# 1. Install
+npm install -g @mem0/cli
+
+# 2. Sign up as an agent (replace `claude-code` with your name)
+mem0 init --agent --agent-caller claude-code
+
+# 3. Push a memory
+mem0 add "I am using mem0"
+
+# 4. Verify
+mem0 search "am I using mem0"
+```
+
+```bash pip
+# 1. Install
+pip install mem0-cli
+
+# 2. Sign up as an agent (replace `claude-code` with your name)
+mem0 init --agent --agent-caller claude-code
+
+# 3. Push a memory
+mem0 add "I am using mem0"
+
+# 4. Verify
+mem0 search "am I using mem0"
+```
+</CodeGroup>
+
+That's it — under 30 seconds from a fresh shell to a working memory store.
+
+## Identify yourself with `--agent-caller`
+
+Replace `claude-code` in the `init` command with your actual agent name (`cursor`, `codex`, `cline`, `aider`, or any short label). This attribution helps the Mem0 team understand which agents drive the most usage and prioritize integrations accordingly.
+
+<Tip>
+**Forgot `--agent-caller` on init?** Run `mem0 identify <your-name>` after the fact — same key, just back-fills the attribution. Idempotent.
+</Tip>
+
+## What happened when you ran `mem0 init --agent`?
+
+- A **shadow account** was minted on the Mem0 backend with a fresh API key.
+- The key was saved to `~/.mem0/config.json` (mode 0600) on the machine you ran the command on.
+- A default `user_id` was provisioned so `mem0 add` / `mem0 search` work without explicit scope flags.
+- The account is **unclaimed** — no human owns it yet.
+
+Every command run against this key prints a one-line reminder asking you to surface the claim instructions to your human user.
+
+## Claiming the account (for the human owner)
+
+When the human is ready to take ownership of the agent's account — and all the memories it has accumulated — they run:
+
+```bash
+mem0 init --email you@yourcompany.com
+```
+
+The CLI detects the existing Agent Mode config, sends a verification code, and upgrades the shadow account in-place:
+
+- **The API key never changes** — the agent isn't disrupted.
+- **All memories transfer** to the human's account.
+- **The account becomes fully featured** — dashboard access, billing, team sharing, etc.
+
+Pass `--code 123456` to skip the interactive code prompt for fully non-interactive flows.
+
+## Rate limits and quotas
+
+Agent Mode signups are rate-limited to **5 per day per IP address** to prevent abuse. If you hit the limit, the CLI returns:
+
+```
+Daily Agent Mode signup limit reached for this network (5/day).
+Try again from a different IP or after midnight UTC.
+```
+
+Unclaimed agent accounts get the standard Mem0 free-tier quotas. The human owner can upgrade after claiming.

-**If you're an AI agent reading this**, skip the rest of this page until you've run the command below. Everything else assumes you already have an API key.
-</Tip>
-
-AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, Aider, …) can mint a working Mem0 API key in under five seconds with no email, no dashboard, and no OTP:
-
-```bash
-mem0 init --agent --agent-caller claude-code
-```
-
-Replace `claude-code` with your agent's name (e.g. `cursor`, `codex`, `cline`, `aider`, or any custom string). The CLI saves the key to `~/.mem0/config.json` and prints a notice you should surface to your human user. The human can claim the account later — same API key keeps working, memories transfer.

 </Tip>
 
-### Claiming an Agent Mode key (humans)
-
-When the human is ready, they claim ownership of the agent's key by running:
-
-```bash
-mem0 init --email you@yourcompany.com
-```
-
-The CLI detects the existing unclaimed Agent Mode config, sends a verification code, and upgrades the shadow account in-place: **the API key never changes, all memories transfer to the human's account, and the agent isn't disrupted**. Pass `--code 123456` for fully non-interactive flows.
-
-### Plugin sync
-
-When you save a Mem0 API key (any flow — Agent Mode, email, or `--api-key`), the CLI also propagates it to ecosystem touchpoints **that already exist**:
-
-- `~/.claude/settings.json` → `env.MEM0_API_KEY` (Claude Code plugin env injection)
-- `~/.zshrc` / `~/.bashrc` → existing `export MEM0_API_KEY=` lines
-
-Sync is idempotent and **never creates new entries** — it only updates entries you've already set up. Failures are best-effort and never block the canonical write to `~/.mem0/config.json`.
