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.
