MCP server

Architecture above. Setup:

#Claude Code

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recall": { "command": "claude-recall-mcp" }
  }
}

In ~/.claude.json (or per-project .mcp.json). If you installed via npm link, claude-recall-mcp is on your PATH; otherwise point command at node with args: ["/abs/path/to/dist/mcp-server.js"].

#Claude Desktop

Same block in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the Windows equivalent. Restart the app.

#Try it

  • Search my past sessions for Hono server setup and show what we decided.
  • Pull in context from session abc12345 and continue from there.
  • What tags do I have?

stdio transport. No ports. No outbound. Whatever the web UI shows, the MCP client sees the same SQLite.
