Gemini 3, when paired with Mem0's cloud MCP server, works in synergy to create snappy, smart, memory-aware agents.

<Callout type="info" icon="sparkles" color="#8B5CF6">
  This is the primary example of MCP integration - the same patterns work with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client.
</Callout>

## MCP Server Tools

The Mem0 MCP server provides these tools to Gemini:

| Tool                  | Description                              |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
| `add_memory`          | Store new information in memory          |
| `search_memories`     | Find relevant memories                   |
| `get_memories`        | Retrieve specific memories by ID         |
| `get_memory`          | Retrieve one memory by its `memory_id`   |
| `update_memory`       | Modify existing memory content           |
| `delete_memory`       | Remove specific memories                 |
| `delete_all_memories` | Clear all memories for a user            |
| `delete_entities`     | Delete all memories related to an entity |
| `list_entities`       | Enumerate users/agents/apps/runs stored  |

## Setup

### Configure Mem0 MCP

Add Mem0 MCP to your MCP client:

```bash
npx mcp-add \
  --name mem0-mcp \
  --type http \
  --url "https://mcp.mem0.ai/mcp" \
  --clients "claude,claude code,cursor,windsurf,vscode,opencode"
```

### Install dependencies

```bash
pip install pydantic-ai nest-asyncio python-dotenv google-genai
```

### Environment Setup

Create a file named `.env`:

```bash
MEM0_API_KEY=m0-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
GEMINI_API_KEY=your-gemini-api-key-here
```

<Note>
Ensure you have your Mem0 API key from the <a href="https://app.mem0.ai?utm_source=oss&utm_medium=cookbook-gemini-3" rel="nofollow">Mem0 Dashboard</a> and your Gemini API key from the [Google AI Studio](https://ai.studio/app/api-keys).

Save this as <strong>gemini_agent.py</strong>:
</Info>

```python
import asyncio
import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from pydantic_ai.mcp import MCPServerHTTP

# Load environment variables
load_dotenv()


class MemoryAgent:
    def __init__(self, model="gemini-3-pro-preview"):
        self.agent = None
        self.server = None
        self.model = model
        self._setup()

    def _setup(self):
        """Initialize the agent with MCP tools"""
        # Connect to Mem0's cloud MCP server
        self.server = MCPServerHTTP(
            url="https://mcp.mem0.ai/mcp"
        )

        # Create agent with Gemini and memory tools
        self.agent = Agent(
            f"google-gla:{self.model}",
            toolsets=[self.server],
            system_prompt=(
                "You are an assistant with memory capabilities. "
                "Automatically remember important details about users, "
                "preferences, and facts. Search memories before answering "
                "questions about past information."
            ),
        )
        print(f"Agent initialized with {self.model}")

    async def chat(self, message):
        """Send message and get response"""
        async with self.server:
            result = await self.agent.run(message)
            return result.output

    async def interactive_chat(self):
        """Run interactive chat session"""
        print("\nMemory Agent Ready! (Type 'quit' to exit)")

        while True:
            try:
                user_input = input("\nYou: ").strip()
                if user_input.lower() in ["quit", "exit"]:
                    print("Goodbye!")
                    break

                if not user_input:
                    continue

                response = await self.chat(user_input)
                print(f"\nAgent: {response}")

            except KeyboardInterrupt:
                print("\nGoodbye!")
                break
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"\nError: {e}")


async def main():
    """Main entry point"""
    agent = MemoryAgent()
    await agent.interactive_chat()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
```

## Running the Agent

To run the interactive agent:

```bash
python gemini_agent.py
```

## Example Interactions

### Multi-Tool Capabilities
*Shows Gemini generating synthetic data while simultaneously storing and searching in one request*

**Prompt:**
```
I need player statistics for a basketball team dashboard demo. Generate 5 synthetic player profiles with different positions, ages, and performance metrics, then store all of them. Also check if we have any existing player data in memory.
```

**Response:**
```
I've created and stored 5 synthetic player profiles for your basketball team dashboard demo:
- Marcus Chen (32, Point Guard) - 12.5 PPG, 8.2 APG, 45% FG, 3 seasons with team
- Jamal Williams (28, Center) - 18.7 PPG, 10.5 RPG, 2.3 BPG, rookie season
- Carlos Rodriguez (35, Small Forward) - 15.3 PPG, 6.8 RPG, 38% 3PT, team captain
- Tito Kawaguchi (24, Shooting Guard) - 22.1 PPG, 4.1 APG, 42% 3PT, 6th man of the year candidate
- Viktor Petrov (30, Power Forward) - 14.8 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 52% FG, defensive specialist

I searched for existing player data in your memory but found none. All synthetic player profiles have been stored with appropriate basketball statistics for demo purposes.
```

### Smart Query Generation
*Demonstrates how Gemini transforms vague human input into optimal search queries*

**Prompt:**
```
Anything about my health I should know about?
```

**Response:**
```
Based on your memory history, I searched for health-related information using these queries: "medical", "allergies", "dietary restrictions", "exercise", "wellness", "doctor visits", "health conditions".

**Health Information Found:**
- Allergies: Shellfish allergy
- Dietary preferences: Weekday vegetarian, flexible weekends, dislikes kiwi
- Exercise routine: 5km runs on weekday mornings
- Diet: Oat milk cappuccino with one sugar (monitoring sugar intake recommended)

I don't see any medical conditions or recent doctor visits in your stored information.
```

### Memory Attribution
*Shows how Gemini distinguishes between stored memories and general knowledge*

**Prompt:**
```
What's my coffee order again?
```

**Response:**
```
Based on your stored memories, your coffee order is an oat milk cappuccino with one sugar.

This information was retrieved from your memory history where you previously mentioned this preference. I don't have any information about whether you've changed this preference recently.
```

## Why Use Gemini with Mem0 MCP?

- **Simple Integration** - Uses Mem0 API in the backend, works with *any MCP client* with just a few lines of code

### Gemini 3 + Mem0 Benefits

- **Native function calling**: Built-in support for Mem0's memory tools
- **Large context window**: Supports up to 1M tokens for extensive memory context
- **Parallel execution**: Can call multiple memory tools simultaneously
- **Cost-effective**: Competitive pricing for memory-intensive applications

## What You Built

- **Memory-augmented AI agent** - Gemini with persistent memory across sessions
- **Automatic context management** - Agent automatically stores and retrieves relevant information
- **Multi-tool parallel execution** - Simultaneous memory operations for efficiency
- **Natural memory interface** - Users interact normally while agent manages memory behind the scenes

## Conclusion

You've successfully built a Gemini 3 agent with persistent memory using Mem0's MCP server. The agent can now remember user preferences, maintain context across sessions, and provide more personalized interactions.
