Recall

What the recall MCP server does

recall provides persistent memory for Claude Code. Instead of limiting useful context to one conversation, it is designed to preserve information so it can be searched and brought into later sessions. The available description focuses on continuity between sessions rather than on a particular external data source or repository.

The intended workflow is straightforward: information from one Claude Code session can remain available, a later session can search for relevant context, and that context can be recalled and re-injected when needed. This is useful for work that continues over time, where repeating background information in every new conversation would be inefficient.

No details are provided about how memory is stored, how records are indexed, whether data is local or remote, or how long recalled context is retained. Those implementation details should be confirmed from the project documentation before deployment.

Tools and capabilities

The listed capabilities center on three operations:

• Search available persistent context.
• Recall information from prior sessions.
• Re-inject recalled context into the current session.

These operations make the recall MCP server suitable for carrying context between Claude Code sessions. The supplied material does not identify additional tools, supported data formats, filtering options, retention controls, or APIs. It also does not describe whether searches use exact matching, semantic retrieval, or another method.

The description refers to “any session,” indicating that the intended scope is cross-session access rather than memory limited to the current conversation. It does not establish whether every session is automatically recorded or whether users must explicitly save information.

Limitations and notes

The available material is limited to a short project description; the README is unavailable. As a result, installation commands, configuration settings, environment variables, storage requirements, authentication behavior, and licensing information cannot be confirmed here.

The recall MCP server is explicitly associated with Claude Code. No support is identified for other MCP clients, and no client-specific setup instructions are provided. Cursor, Claude Desktop, and other clients should not be assumed to work without confirmation from the repository.

The description also does not specify privacy or security behavior. Before using recall for sensitive project context, verify where memory is stored, who can access it, how deletion works, and whether session data is encrypted. The same checks apply to retention and isolation between projects or users.
