#me status

Show the server, active space, and embedding backlog.

#Usage

me status

#Description

A quick health check for your active space. It prints the server you're talking to, your active space, and the state of the embedding queue — the background work that makes new memories semantically searchable.

When you create memories (especially after a large me import), they're saved and keyword-searchable immediately, but their vector embeddings are computed asynchronously. Until a memory is embedded, it won't appear in semantic search. me status shows how much of that work is still pending, so you can watch the backlog drain.

me status
  Server: https://api.memory.build
  Space:  6nnv8r3gz9jr
  Embedding queue:
    Pending:   128
    In flight: 4
    Waiting:   0
    Failed:    0
  Oldest pending item was queued 2m ago.
Field Meaning
Pending Memories waiting for an embedding.
In flight Embeddings currently being computed.
Waiting Items delayed before a retry.
Failed Memories whose embedding failed after all retries (still fully usable for keyword and filter search).

When nothing is pending, it prints All caught up — no embeddings pending.

Requires that you are logged in and have an active space. See me whoami to confirm both.
