Use Claude Recall with the editors and agents you already run.
Claude Recall ships as a single npm package with four surfaces: a CLI, a local web UI, a terminal interactive view, and an MCP server. The MCP server is the universal integration: any MCP-aware editor can read your session history through it. The terminal-native CLI works alongside any editor, including the ones that have not shipped MCP support yet.
Two different kinds of thing are listed below. Most of these make another editor a client of your history: install the extension or add the MCP server, and that editor can read sessions Claude Recall has already indexed. Codex is the other kind. It is a source: Claude Recall indexes OpenAI Codex CLI sessions itself, on by default, with nothing to configure, and they sit in the same lists and the same search as your Claude Code sessions.
VS Code
Native extensionInstall from the Marketplace. Inline session browsing, search, and context re-injection without leaving the editor.

Whichever of these you use, the install starts the same way.
