Using plugins
Open Plugins from Memona’s menu. The dialog has three sections:
- Browse searches the public catalog and shows package details.
- Installed manages installed versions and enabled state.
- Connections configures each provider and its agent permissions.
Install and update
Select a catalog entry to inspect the publisher, version and description. Choose Install to download that exact release. Memona validates the downloaded package and its digest before activation. You do not need a publisher account to browse or install.
Updates are explicit. A failed update leaves the previous installed version in place. Installed plugins can contact public and private network services. Agent access remains controlled by each connection’s settings.
Disabling a plugin stops its connections and prevents new operations. Removing a plugin does not delete files stored on a remote service. If the catalog is unavailable, installed plugins can still be managed; remote operations still need access to their configured remote service.
Connections and agents
A provider can have several connections with separate configuration. Set agent access independently for each connection:
| Setting | What Memona’s agent file tool can do |
|---|---|
| Off | The connection is not available to agents. |
| Read only | Inspect folders and read files. |
| Read and write | Read and request supported changes. |
The provider may itself be read-only. Granting write access cannot add an operation that the provider does not support. Agent grants apply to Memona’s remote-file tool; they do not change what an external agent’s independent shell or local filesystem tools can access.
Enter the server address and credentials in the provider’s connection fields. There is no second network allowlist to configure. Plugins may contact public, LAN, VPN, link-local and loopback addresses. A plugin declares its protocol’s socket ports, and Memona applies them automatically.
Credentials belong to a connection. Secret fields are kept in backend memory and are not shown back to the frontend or written to the connection file. After restarting the backend, enter required secrets again before reconnecting.
Publishing
Use the publisher link to open plugin.memona.io. Publishing and email verification happen there. Installation happens inside Memona; there is no custom install-link protocol.
The website also provides plugin guides, publisher profiles and sorting by updates, downloads or likes. You can sign in to like a plugin without becoming a publisher. Downloads count package requests rather than installed copies or individual people. Daily activity uses UTC and distinguishes dates before tracking began from dates with zero downloads.
