Chat Recall Overview

chat-recall MCP server indexes transcripts from Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, OpenCode, Antigravity, and Cursor into shared searchable memory. Its 68 MCP tools cover cross-tool knowledge, session search and replay, leaked-credential checks, ranked code improvements, and task tracking. Use it when agents or teammates need to find decisions and past work across separate coding-tool histories. It can sync to chatrecall.dev or run self-hosted, with local controls for exclusions, retention, and deletion.

Primary Use Cases for Chat Recall:
  • Search past decisions across multiple AI coding tools
  • Share project conventions between agents and teammates
  • Check historical sessions for active leaked credentials
  • Turn ranked code findings into tracked repository tasks
