  title: memloom local API
  version: 0.1.0
  description: >
    The HTTP API served by the `memloom serve` daemon on your machine. The CLI,
    the MCP server,

    and the viewer all route through this API. The daemon is the single owner of
    the store, so

    every client shares one consistent view of your memories.


    No authentication: the daemon binds to `127.0.0.1` only and is reachable
    solely from your

    own machine. Browser clients on other localhost ports are allowed via CORS.
