Claudex Overview

kunwar-shah/claudex MCP server connects MCP-compatible clients to Claude Code conversation history stored under ~/.claude/projects. It indexes JSONL conversations into SQLite with FTS5 search and provides 10 tools for project context, session discovery, conversation retrieval, and structured memory. Use it when an agent needs persistent coding context across sessions or when developers need to inspect and analyze previous conversations. The package also includes a React and Fastify web application for browsing, filtering, analyzing, and exporting histories.

Primary Use Cases for Claudex:
  • Recall project conventions from earlier Claude Code sessions
  • Search prior conversations by project, role, or date
  • Store architectural decisions and error patterns for later sessions
  • Review conversation analytics and export session records
