Which developer activity sources does DevRecall support?

It supports Git (local commits), GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket (PRs, reviews, issues), Slack messages, Google Calendar events, Jira and Linear tickets, and Confluence pages.

How does DevRecall enable AI tools to access my work history?

It exposes an MCP server that AI coding tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can spawn as a subprocess to query your indexed data with citations.

Is an LLM required to use DevRecall?

No, embeddings run offline by default. You can optionally use local or external LLMs by providing your own API keys.

Q: How do I install DevRecall on macOS?

You can install it via Homebrew with 'brew install --cask pavelpilyak/devrecall/devrecall', which installs the desktop app and CLI.

Aggregates developer activity locally from multiple sources into a searchable SQLite database with embeddings and MCP integration.

Overview

This server collects developer data from Git, GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, Slack, Google Calendar, Jira, Linear, and Confluence, storing it locally in SQLite with full-text search and on-device embeddings. It supports offline use with optional LLM integration and exposes an MCP interface for coding tools to query and cite past work. Use it to maintain a private, local memory of your development history without cloud syncing or telemetry.

Use cases

Aggregate commits, PRs, tickets, docs, and messages into a unified local database

Generate standups, weekly reports, and summaries from your activity data

Query past work contextually via chat interfaces with cited sources

Integrate with MCP-compatible coding tools for enhanced memory recall

Maintain a private, local-first developer knowledge base without cloud storage

Key features

Local SQLite database with FTS5 full-text search

On-device ONNX embeddings for semantic search

Supports Git, GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, Slack, Google Calendar, Jira, Linear, Confluence

MCP server exposing tools, resources, and prompts for AI agents

Offline operation with optional local or remote LLM integration

Documentation Overview

DevRecall

Your developer activity, aggregated on-device. No cloud sync. No telemetry. Your data never leaves your machine.

DevRecall pulls from Git, Slack, Google Calendar, Jira, Linear, Confluence, GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket, Notion, and your Claude Code sessions; stores it in a local SQLite database; and turns it into standups, weekly reports, brag docs, and a chat that actually knows what you worked on.

Also ships an MCP server — any MCP-compatible coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Continue, Zed) can spawn it as a stdio subprocess and gain memory of everything you've shipped. /devrecall:recall what auth bug did I fix in February returns cited commits, PRs, and tickets inline.

_{Desktop app — the same memory, native UI} _{devrecall standup — the day's report, written for you} _{devrecall chat — recall with cited commits & PRs}

📚 docs.devrecall.dev — install, configure, integrations, CLI reference.

Why

Local-first. SQLite on your laptop. Tokens in ~/.devrecall/tokens/ (0600). The Cloudflare Worker relay is a pass-through for OAuth callbacks only — it never sees your data.
LLM-optional. Bundled embeddings run offline (ONNX + all-MiniLM-L6-v2). Use local Ollama for chat, or bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic key.
Open source. MIT-licensed. Audit it, fork it, build it from source.

Sources

Git (local)	Commits, branch activity, files changed
GitHub / GitLab / Bitbucket	PRs/MRs, reviews, issues, comments
Slack	Your messages, threads you participated in

Install

macOS — desktop app + CLI:

bash

brew install --cask pavelpilyak/devrecall/devrecall

Installs DevRecall.app and puts the devrecall CLI on your PATH.

Linux / WSL — CLI and MCP server (no desktop app):

bash

brew install pavelpilyak/devrecall/devrecall-cli

Without Homebrew, grab the tarball directly:

Terminal

curl -L https://github.com/pavelpilyak/devrecall/releases/latest/download/devrecall-linux-x86_64.tar.gz \
  | tar xz && sudo mv devrecall-linux-x86_64 /usr/local/bin/devrecall

Supported on Ubuntu 22.04+ and equivalent (Debian 12+, Fedora 35+).

Windows — no native build. Everything except the desktop app runs under WSL using the Linux instructions above, including the MCP server, which your editor can spawn across the WSL boundary.

Build from source

bash

git clone https://github.com/pavelpilyak/devrecall.git
cd devrecall
make build          # → bin/devrecall

Requires Go 1.22+ with CGO enabled (for SQLite FTS5).

Then connect a source and generate your first standup:

bash

devrecall auth github      # or: slack, google, jira, linear, notion, gitlab, bitbucket
devrecall standup

Full install + setup walkthrough at docs.devrecall.dev/install.

Development

bash

make build              # bin/devrecall
make test               # tests with race detector
make lint               # golangci-lint

Build tags: fts5 enables SQLite full-text search; GO enables hugot's pure Go ONNX backend for embeddings.

The desktop app (Tauri + Svelte) lives in desktop/; the OAuth callback relay (Cloudflare Worker) in relay/.
