+  - Setting up Cognee memory provider
+  - Configuring knowledge graph memory
+---
+
+# Cognee Memory Provider
+
+Moltbot supports [Cognee](https://www.cognee.ai/) - [open source AI memory](https://github.com/topoteretes/cognee) - as an optional memory provider. Cognee builds knowledge graph memory backed by embeddings from any data and can be run locally with Docker. Learn more from [Cognee Documentation](https://docs.cognee.ai/).
+
+## Quickstart with Docker
+
+Run the example compose file:
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f examples/cognee-docker-compose.yaml up -d
+```
+Verify:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8000/health
+```
+
+## Configuration
+
+Put the token in `~/.clawdbot/.env`:
+
+```bash
+COGNEE_API_KEY="your-cognee-access-token"
+CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN="your-random-gateway-token"
+```
+
+Configure `~/.clawdbot/moltbot.json` (JSON5):
+
+```json5
+{
+  agents: {
+    defaults: {
+      memorySearch: {
+        enabled: true,
+        provider: "cognee",
+        sources: ["memory", "sessions"],
+        experimental: { sessionMemory: true },
+        cognee: {
+          baseUrl: "http://localhost:8000",
+          apiKey: "${COGNEE_API_KEY}",
+          datasetName: "clawdbot",
+          searchType: "GRAPH_COMPLETION",
+          maxResults: 6,
+          autoCognify: true,
+          timeoutSeconds: 180
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Start the gateway with env loaded:
+
+```zsh
+set -a; source "$HOME/.clawdbot/.env"; set +a
+pnpm moltbot gateway --port 18789 --token "$CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_TOKEN" --verbose
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Cognee indexes `MEMORY.md` in workspace root, `memory/*.md`, and session transcripts when `sources: ["sessions"]` is enabled.
+
+1. Initial index and status:
+
+```bash
+pnpm moltbot memory status --index --json
+```
+
+2. Memory updates:
+
+```bash
+pnpm moltbot memory status --index --update-cognee --json
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- Connection test: `curl http://localhost:8000/health`
+- Reset cached values that Moltbot reuses: `mv "$HOME/.clawdbot/memory/cognee/main.json" "$HOME/.clawdbot/memory/cognee/main.json.bak"`
