InstaPods Deployment

InstaPods is the fastest hosted deployment path for AutoMem. Use it when you want a public HTTPS AutoMem endpoint, SSH access, custom domains, and generated MCP configuration without wiring the infrastructure yourself.

Deploy AutoMem on InstaPods

When to Use InstaPods

Section titled “When to Use InstaPods”

Choose InstaPods when you want:

  • Hosted AutoMem up in about 30 seconds
  • A flat $15/mo AutoMem plan
  • HTTPS included by default
  • SSH access to the pod
  • Custom domains
  • Generated MCP config after deployment

If you need full infrastructure control, use Railway or Docker instead.

Deployment Flow

Section titled “Deployment Flow”
  1. Open the AutoMem app on InstaPods.
  2. Choose the Grow plan for the flat $15/mo AutoMem setup.
  3. Deploy the pod and wait for the AutoMem service to come online.
  4. Copy the generated MCP configuration after deploy.
  5. Paste the config into your MCP-compatible client, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or GitHub Copilot.

Client Configuration

Section titled “Client Configuration”

After deployment, InstaPods gives you the pieces the MCP client needs:

  • AUTOMEM_API_URL - the public HTTPS URL for your AutoMem service
  • AUTOMEM_API_KEY - the token used by MCP clients to authenticate
  • MCP client config - generated for copy/paste into supported tools

For manual configuration, run the guided installer and use the InstaPods endpoint and token when prompted. On npm 0.16.0, use install. setup becomes an alias of install in the release after 0.16.0:

Terminal window
npx @verygoodplugins/mcp-automem install

For platform-specific config locations, see Setup & Installation and the individual Platform Guides.

Verification

Section titled “Verification”

Check the health endpoint from your local machine:

Terminal window
curl https://your-instapods-automem-url/health

A healthy deployment returns status: "healthy" and confirms FalkorDB connectivity.

/health skips the API token check, so a healthy response does not prove that your token is accepted. To test the token, send it to an endpoint that checks it. A 401 Unauthorized response means the token was rejected:

Terminal window
curl -i "https://your-instapods-automem-url/recall?limit=1" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_AUTOMEM_API_TOKEN"
