How do I install Memocall?

Copy the stdio config for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or VS Code on this page. It uses the publisher's install, not a PlugMCP proxy.

Does Memocall need an API key?

No required environment variable is listed on this record.

What transport does Memocall use?

Memocall runs locally over stdio.

When was Memocall last checked?

Last checked 2026-10-16. Recall past Claude Code conversations from any project as clean, compact Markdown.

Memocall MCP server

MemoCall

An MCP server that lets Claude Code recall the context of your past conversations — from any project — on demand.

Claude Code can resume a session, but getting another conversation's context into the one you're in is a chore — copy-pasting exports or digging through raw transcript files by hand — and resume only sees the current directory anyway. MemoCall turns it into a single ask: "what was I working on?" or "load the session where we set up X", and it pulls that transcript in as clean, compact Markdown — even from a totally different project.

It's read-only. Claude Code already records every session to ~/.claude/projects/<project>/<id>.jsonl; this server just reads those files, strips the noise, collapses tool calls, and hands back a readable transcript. It never writes, hooks, or touches a live session.

What you get

Five tools, available in every session once installed. Claude picks the right one from the request:

Tool	What it does
`list_sessions`	Your recent conversations across all projects, grouped by directory. "What was I working on?"
`search_sessions`	Find a past conversation by keyword (matches titles + first messages + paths).
`load_session`	Load one conversation as compact Markdown — by `id` or `query`. Optionally a turn window via `turns`.
`session_outline`	A cheap map of one conversation: the numbered list of your prompts. Great for huge sessions.
`search_in_session`	Return only the turns within one conversation that match a keyword.

You don't call these directly — you talk normally and Claude reaches for them:

You:  what sessions have i worked on recently?
You:  load the one where we set up the license invitation system
You:  which session did we debug the keychain SIGKILL thing in?

How the transcript is rendered

Raw transcripts are a verbose event log (one big file hit 11 MB). memocall reduces each turn to the essentials, Conductor-style:

**You:** right now i need to set up a system to invite prospects...
↳ 12 tool calls (Bash ×5, Read ×4, Edit ×3)
**Claude:** I've set up the invitation flow. Key decisions: ...

Tool-call outputs are elided (the big token win, and a privacy win — see below). Abandoned/edited message branches are dropped so you get the conversation as it actually played out. A token budget keeps even an 11 MB session well under Claude Code's MCP output cap via middle-out truncation.

Navigating large sessions

A single response can't hold a 1,000-turn session, so for big ones you don't dump — you navigate:

session_outline → a numbered map of every prompt (tiny, fits any session).
search_in_session → jump straight to the turns about a topic, or load_session with turns: "300-340" to pull an exact window (turn numbers come from the outline).

So you never lose access to the middle of a huge conversation — load_session alone would middle-out-truncate it, but the outline + range/search tools let Claude reach any part on demand.

Install

Requires the Claude Code CLI (and Node 18+). One line — npx fetches and runs the published package:

claude mcp add --scope user memocall -- npx -y memocall

--scope user makes it available in every session, in every directory. Restart Claude Code (or open a new session) and ask it to list your sessions. Verify with claude mcp list — you should see memocall: … ✔ Connected.

git clone https://github.com/baodq06/memocall.git
cd memocall && npm install && npm run build
claude mcp add --scope user memocall -- node "$(pwd)/dist/index.js"

Privacy & security

Local only. No network, no auth, no telemetry. It reads files under ~/.claude/projects/ and nothing else.
Compact mode elides tool outputs, which is where secrets (tokens, keys, env) usually live — so the default output is much safer than the raw transcript.
format: "full" includes brief tool inputs and may surface sensitive strings. Use it deliberately.
Transcripts can contain secrets regardless; treat loaded context as you would the original conversation.

Limitations

Recall is best-effort: Claude Code deletes transcripts after cleanupPeriodDays (default 30).
Forked sessions may only contain post-fork turns.
The transcript format is undocumented and can change between Claude Code versions; all format knowledge is isolated in src/jsonl.ts so it's a one-file patch if it does.

Development

npm run build           # compile TypeScript -> dist/
npm test                # unit suite (node:test) on synthetic fixtures
npm run smoke           # optional: checks all YOUR real sessions stay under the output cap
node dist/parser.js <file.jsonl> [--full|--outline] [--turns 10-20] [--search "kw"] [--max N] [--think]   # test the parser
node test-client.mjs    # drive the server over stdio like Claude Code does
npm run inspect         # open the MCP Inspector UI

Layout:

src/jsonl.ts — all knowledge of the transcript format (helpers, ordering, classification).
src/parser.ts — JSONL → compact Markdown (the core transform).
src/locator.ts — session enumeration + cached metadata index.
src/index.ts — the MCP server wiring the three tools.
