Recall

What it does

Recall gives Claude and other AI agents a persistent memory layer that survives context window limits, session restarts, and compaction events. It connects to a Redis or Valkey backend (or the managed cloud at recallmcp.com) and stores decisions, code patterns, preferences, and knowledge so they're automatically available in every future conversation — without repeating yourself.

Tools

• store_memory — Save a single memory with type, importance, tags, and optional TTL
• store_batch_memories — Bulk-store multiple memories in one call
• recall_relevant_context — Proactively retrieve memories relevant to the current task
• search_memories — Semantic search with fuzzy matching, regex, and category filters
• analyze_and_remember — Extract and store structured memories from conversation history
• summarize_session — Create a named session snapshot capturing all key memories
• link_memories / get_related_memories — Build and traverse a memory knowledge graph
• get_time_window_context — Retrieve all memories from a specific time window (last N hours/minutes)
• get_memory_history / rollback_memory — Version history and rollback for individual memories
• create_template / create_from_template — Reusable memory templates with variable substitution
• export_memories / import_memories — Backup and restore memory stores as JSON
• find_duplicates / consolidate_memories — Detect and merge redundant memories
• convert_to_global / convert_to_workspace — Promote memories across workspace scopes
• Plus 13 additional tools for categories, analytics, and relationship management (27 total)

Installation

Managed cloud (recommended):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recall": {
      "url": "https://recallmcp.com/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" }
    }
  }
}

Sign up for a free API key at recallmcp.com.

Self-hosted (Claude Desktop, stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "recall": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@joseairosa/recall"],
      "env": {
        "REDIS_URL": "redis://localhost:6379",
        "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY": "your-anthropic-key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires Redis ≥ 6 or Valkey running locally or on a cloud provider (Upstash free tier works).
