Claude Recall in Zed

Zed is MCP-native through its context servers feature. Register Claude Recall as a context server and the Zed agent panel can search, recall, and inject any past Claude Code session as conversation context. Local. No HTTP. No API keys.

Setup

Edit settings.json. Restart Zed. The agent panel sees the recall server.

# Install the CLI
npm install -g @clauderecallhq/cli

Then in Zed settings.json:

{
  "context_servers": {
    "recall": {
      "command": {
        "path": "claude-recall-mcp",
        "args": [],
        "env": {}
      }
    }
  }
}

What the Zed agent gains

• list_projects, list_sessions, list_tags: corpus navigation tools.
• search: full-text search across every past Claude Code session.
• find_similar_sessions (Pro): semantic similarity over local embeddings.
• get_session: fetch a full session transcript by id.
• apply_tags, set_alias, add_note: write features that respect the three-layer durability invariant.
