Built Into Cradle
Cradle ships @cradleapp/nowledge-mem as an official, bundled integration plugin. Enable it from Cradle's Plugin Marketplace; there is no separate Nowledge community package to install.
The plugin defaults to http://127.0.0.1:14242. Its settings panel lets you change the Mem API URL, optional MCP URL, default Space, and enabled state. Protected or remote endpoints receive their API key through NMEM_API_KEY; Cradle deliberately keeps that key out of plugin storage and public config responses.
What Works Today
- Read Working Memory and Context Bundle
- Search and explicitly create durable memories
- Search, read, create, and append saved threads
- Optionally register Mem's streamable HTTP MCP server
- Load Cradle's bundled
nowledge-memskill for agent guidance
Current Boundary
Cradle's plugin is guided and route-driven today. Cradle does not yet expose the plugin lifecycle hooks required for automatic pre-turn recall, automatic session capture, or pre-compaction capture. Those are host capabilities, so no extra Mem-side hook installer can add them safely.
