Integrations

Use Claude Recall in every IDE you already have open.

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 Claude Code session memory through it. The terminal-native CLI works alongside any editor, including the ones that have not shipped MCP support yet.

Below: the canonical setup path for each editor we are asked about most.

VS Code

Native extension

Install from the Marketplace. Inline session browsing, search, and context re-injection without leaving the editor.

Cursor

MCP server

One block in Cursor settings exposes every Claude Recall tool to Cursor Composer. Local. Stdio transport.

Claude Desktop

MCP server

Add the recall MCP server to claude_desktop_config.json. Claude Desktop can now search every Claude Code session you have ever run.

Windsurf

MCP server

Wire Claude Recall as an MCP server inside Windsurf so Cascade can recall context from your Claude Code history.

Zed

MCP server + terminal

Zed is MCP-native. Drop the recall server into your Zed config and use the agent panel against your local index.

Neovim

Terminal-native

Neovim users live in the terminal. recall, recall tui, and recall open work natively next to your editor.

Whatever editor you use, the install starts the same way.
