Lets agents search/navigate memory via the CLI, as the first step toward
deprecating the memory MCP. claude-memory is a FastAPI service (the MCP is just
one frontend); homelab memory is a thin Bearer-auth HTTP client over the same
API, using the env the hooks already set (CLAUDE_MEMORY_API_URL/KEY). It works
even when the MCP frontend is down — the recurring disconnect that took the MCP
offline for this whole session.
Verbs: recall (server-side semantic search), list, categories, tags, stats,
secret (read); store, update, delete (write). Validated against the live API
including a store→recall→delete round-trip — full data-plane parity with the MCP.
The deprecation itself (rewiring the per-prompt auto-recall + auto-learn hooks to
the CLI, then uninstalling the MCP) is a deliberate follow-up, sequenced after
the CLI is proven in the hooks — see docs/adr/0008.
