Configuration

Supermemory on Intern is configured by exactly two values: the API key (from your supermemory.ai account) and the container tag (a string you pick to namespace this device's memories). Both go into /root/config/config.json and are mirrored into the OpenClaw plugin config on restart.

Two files, two roles​

/root/config/config.json — source of truth​

You own this file. The relevant fields:

{
  "supermemory_api_key":       "sm-...",
  "supermemory_container_tag": "intern-livingroom-01"
}

Pick supermemory_container_tag once per device and keep it stable — rotating it orphans the memories under the old tag.

/root/.openclaw/openclaw.json — what OpenClaw actually reads​

OpenClaw loads its plugin config from its own JSON. intern-server mirrors the Supermemory block from config.json on every restart:

{
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "openclaw-supermemory": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "api_key":       "sm-...",
          "container_tag": "intern-livingroom-01"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

After editing config.json, kick the sync:

sudo systemctl restart intern
sudo systemctl restart openclaw

intern-server rewrites the OpenClaw plugin block on every restart, so don't edit openclaw.json directly unless you also disable the sync.

Disabling Supermemory entirely​

Set the plugin to disabled in openclaw.json and clear the keys in config.json so they don't get re-injected:

// openclaw.json
"openclaw-supermemory": { "enabled": false }
sudo systemctl restart openclaw

With the plugin disabled, OpenClaw will not query or write any memories, and the device will report "supermemory_installed": false on its heartbeat.

Inspecting what's stored​

Pull the device's API key out of config and query Supermemory directly:

SM_KEY=$(jq -r .supermemory_api_key /root/config/config.json)
TAG=$(jq -r .supermemory_container_tag /root/config/config.json)

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SM_KEY" \
     "https://api.supermemory.ai/v1/memories?container_tag=$TAG"

This is the same call OpenClaw makes — you'll see every memory the device has captured.
