CLI Usage¶

The tape-mem CLI runs the full-context memory agent demo on an EventQA example. Make sure you have set up the required python environment in the development section before running the CLI.

Environment Variables¶

The CLI requires three environment variables:

Variable	Description	Required
`OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_BASE_URL`	Base URL of your LLM API (e.g. `https://api.openai.com/v1`)	Yes
`OPENAI_COMPATIBLE_API_KEY`	API key for the LLM service	Yes
`LLM_MODEL`	Model name to use (e.g. `gpt-4o-mini`)	Yes

Note: HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com will be used if HF_ENDPOINT is not set for faster Hugging Face downloads, so no extra setup is needed. Or, to override the Hugging Face mirror with:
HF_ENDPOINT=<endpoint>

Run¶

Make sure to set the required environment variables, then you can run the CLI with:

# if you prefer using uv, you can run with:
uv run tape-mem

# or, if you have tape-mem installed in your Python environment, simply run:
tape-mem
