IDEs and Coding Agents
Memside gives compatible coding tools access to saved project context, checkpoints, Operating Rules, and other selected Memories. This helps a coding session begin with the right context and continue work without repeating the same background.
Each tool uses a different setup screen or configuration file. Select the guide for the app being connected.

Before starting
Section titled “Before starting”- Sign in to Memside.
- Open Settings > Developer & API.
- Create an API key and copy it when shown.
- Open the guide for the required coding tool.
Some clients support OAuth and do not require an API key. The app-specific guide identifies the supported authentication path.
First connection test
Section titled “First connection test”After setup, begin with a read-only request:
Use Memside to find the current project checkpoint and summarize the next step.This confirms that the connection works before any create or update action is approved.
Keep API keys safe
Section titled “Keep API keys safe”- Use secret input fields or local user configuration where available.
- Do not commit a real API key to a repository.
- Do not include a key in screenshots or shared messages.
- Revoke the key in Memside when a device or client should no longer have access.
