 "title": "Move your MemoraX setup to a second device",
 "page_title": "How to move your MemoraX setup to a second device with Memorax Code",
 "summary": "Connect a new machine to your MemoraX account by entering the saved username and API key locally.",
 "who": "A developer who uses MemoraX Code on one machine and wants the same memory on a laptop or workstation.",
 "problem": "A second device has no MemoraX Code configuration, so its coding agent cannot read or write the same memory.",
 "outcome": "The new device is connected to your account and reports the local integration status without exposing the API key.",
 "steps": [
  "On the configured device, open `~/.memorax-code/config.toml` and copy the username and API key into your password manager, without pasting them into chats or project files.",
  "On the new device, run `npm install -g @memorax/memorax-code` to install the package.",
  "In a normal interactive terminal on the new device, run `memorax-code setup --existing-account` and enter the username and API key locally.",
  "Restart or refresh each detected coding agent on the new device.",
  "Run `memorax-code status` from the project directory to check the local Backend and client integrations."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "On this machine, run `memorax-code status` from the <project path> directory and report the status of each detected client integration. Do not print, copy, or move the API key. Verify that the output shows whether each Hook runtime is observed or unverified.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 min",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README asks you to enter credentials in a local terminal on the new device, and non-interactive setup should only receive the key through stdin from a caller that already holds it.",

 "tags": [

 ],
 "lang": "javascript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js 20+ (Node.js 24 LTS recommended)",
  "At least one supported coding agent installed, such as Codex, Claude Code, or Cursor",
  "A normal interactive terminal for setup, or a caller-provided API key for stdin setup",
  "Network access for MemoraX search and writeback",
  "On Linux, /usr/bin/secret-tool from libsecret and an available Secret Service for guest credentials"
