Showagent Overview

The showagent MCP server exposes local coding-agent session history over MCP for search, transcript access, and session handoffs. It reads supported stores for Codex, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, jcode, and Pi, while OpenCode operations use the installed OpenCode CLI. Run it over stdio with `showagent mcp`; use `--read-only` when the client should not create copied sessions. Reach for it when an agent needs to find prior local work or bring a conversation into another coding agent.
