Remote Qdrant fails to connect when the URL includes port 6333

Not specified by the original author.

The problem

Pointing mem0 at a remote Qdrant instance via the url parameter throws a connection exception. The config looks right, host and port included, but the Qdrant client inside mem0 never connects. The reporter was using an Ollama-backed setup with Qdrant as the vector store and could not get past the connection step.

The fix

Reporter-verified workaround: the host URL with the default Qdrant port breaks the internal client. Strip :6333 from the host before passing it in, e.g. host = host.replace(":6333", "", 1) if ":6333" in host else host, and the connection goes through. The reporter confirmed removing the port from the URL fixed it. So if your remote Qdrant URL includes the port, drop it from the string you hand mem0; the client appends what it needs itself.
