memanto config backend

Show or switch the active Moorcheh backend. Switching to a backend that has never been set up runs its first-time setup flow (API key entry for cloud, server URL/embedding provider for on-prem).

memanto config backend [NAME]

Arguments:

NAME - Backend to switch to: cloud or on-prem. Omit to show the current backend.

Examples: Show the current backend:

memanto config backend

Switch to on-prem:

memanto config backend on-prem

Switch back to cloud:

memanto config backend cloud

Output (showing current backend):

Backend
Active backend: on-prem
Server: http://localhost:8080
Embedding: ollama

Output (switching backend):

Switched backend to on-prem.
Active session was cleared.

Notes:

Switching always clears the active agent session — cloud and on-prem store data in separate local directories, so sessions never cross over.
Switching to a backend that’s already active is a no-op.
See Backend Switching for the full cloud ↔ on-prem migration guide.
Reflected in memanto config show as the Backend row.
