- Provider prompt now displays the cost per 1,000 observations for each memory provider option
- Installer supports CMEM Pro signup flow that opens cmem.ai/pro, waits for the cm_pro_… key, writes it to settings, and points to the browser for cloud sync completion
- CMEM Pro is implemented as an OpenAI-compatible provider using OpenRouterProvider with base URL https://cmem.ai/api/inference/v1
- Add CMEM_PRO_ORIGIN environment variable to override the origin for testing the signup funnel against a dev server
- CMEM Pro is now the first option in the installer provider prompt, ordered by cost per 1,000 observations
- Reordered provider options in the installer so Anthropic plan is listed last as the most expensive option that bills to the user's Claude plan
From claude-mem
CMEM Pro is now the first option in the installer
npx claude-mem now leads its provider prompt with CMEM Pro, and every option shows what it actually costs per 1,000 observations — so the choice is made on price rather than brand recognition.
◆ Which memory provider do you want to use?
│ ● CMEM Pro — observer model, off your plan ($0/1k observations · $30/mo, cloud sync included) Recommended
│ ○ OpenRouter / any OpenAI-compatible key (~$2.73/1k observations, billed to you)
│ ○ Gemini API key (~$3.39/1k observations, billed to you)
│ ○ Use your Anthropic plan (~$8.91/1k observations, billed to your Claude plan)
Anthropic moves last: it is the most expensive per observation and it bills your own Claude plan.
Picking CMEM Pro
Opens cmem.ai/pro?from=installer, waits for the cm_pro_… key the signup flow hands back, writes it to settings, and points you at the browser to finish cloud sync. The key is pasted by hand — no polling, no device-code handshake.
No new provider code
OpenRouterProvider is already a generic OpenAI-compatible client whose base URL and model both come from settings, so CMEM Pro is four settings writes:
{
"CLAUDE_MEM_PROVIDER": "openrouter",
"CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_BASE_URL": "https://cmem.ai/api/inference/v1",
"CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_MODEL": "cmem-observer",
"CLAUDE_MEM_OPENROUTER_API_KEY": "cm_pro_<hex>"
}
'cmem' is a prompt-only sentinel and never reaches settings.json — the worker still only understands claude | gemini | openrouter.
Cost figures
New src/npx-cli/cmem-pro-costs.ts derives every label from one constant (ratePerM × TOKENS_PER_OBSERVATION / 1000), so re-pricing is a one-line edit. CMEM Pro deliberately carries no computed $/1k — it is a flat subscription that does not bill your tokens.
CMEM_PRO_ORIGIN overrides the origin so the whole funnel can be walked against a dev server.
Notes
openBrowser()is best-effort; the URL is printed first, so headless boxes just get a copy-pasteable link.- Existing installs are unaffected — this changes the prompt, not any persisted provider.
