CREATE YOUR ACCOUNT

Sign Up

ChainMemory accounts are created through the Chrome Extension. Your account gives you access to all three integration methods: Extension, MCP Server, and REST API.

1

Install the Extension

Download from the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome".

2

Set Up Your API Key

Click the ChainMemory icon in your browser toolbar. Pick one of the two options:

  • Generate API Key automatically — creates a free wallet + 1 AIC token in one click. No email, no password. Recommended for new users.
  • I already have a key — paste your existing aic_... key to restore your account on this device.

Your API Key

Your key is always available under Settings → Connection (click "View"). Copy it — you need it for MCP and API access.

Keep your API Key safe Your API Key grants full access to your memories and projects. Never share it in public repositories or frontend code. Store it in environment variables or a secrets manager.

Create Your First Project

Projects group related memories together. Each project has its own timeline, consolidated state, and independent on-chain anchor.

1

Via the Extension

In the extension popup, click "New Project". Enter a slug (lowercase, no spaces — e.g., my-saas, thesis-ml) and an optional description. Click Create.

2

Via the API

bash
curl -X POST https://api.chainmemory.ai/v1/projects \
  -H "x-api-key: your-api-key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "my-saas", "description": "My SaaS product"}'
    
3

Via MCP

If you have the MCP server configured, ask your AI: "Create a new ChainMemory project called my-saas". The AI will use the create_project tool automatically.

Project naming Choose descriptive, short slugs. You'll reference them in every API call and MCP interaction. Examples: chainmemory, mobile-app, data-pipeline.
