How an agent gets in.

None of the 5 ways in worked without a person.

It stopped at sign up, in the drive of 23 Oct 2026.

The other ways in, as our agent tried them

Ways in
Way in	What happened
No key needed	Stopped by a bot check
Runs locally, no account	Not tried: a step our agent doesn't take
Sign‑up by API	Stopped by a bot check
Email and password	Stopped by a CAPTCHA
Company single sign‑on	Not tried: a step our agent doesn't take

Two kinds of agent

An assistant in a browser (like ChatGPT agent or Claude on a computer)Signing up needs a person: Cloudflare's bot check turns away even a normal browser.
An agent talking to it directly (API, MCP, agent payments)Signing up needs a person: Cloudflare's bot check turns it away.

How we drive both kinds

Tips for agents from this drive · 3 tips

Memos is self-hosted: point the agent at the user's own instance and a personal access token (memos_pat_...); the vendor's demo is behind a Cloudflare challenge.
Read https://usememos.com/llms-full.txt for the docs; the HTML docs are challenged.
Check the instance version first: 26.10 uses /api/..., 0.30 and 0.31 use /api/v1/..., and old paths return 410 Gone in 26.10.
