Session Buddy

What it does

Session Buddy is a dedicated MCP server that manages the lifecycle of Claude Code sessions. It automatically captures structured insights from conversations, stores them in a local DuckDB vector store, and enables semantic retrieval of project knowledge across different repositories and sessions.

Tools

• start: Initializes a session with project analysis and memory setup.
• checkpoint: Performs mid-session quality assessments and context compaction.
• end: Completes session cleanup and captures final learnings.
• search_insights: Performs semantic search over captured project insights.
• create_project_group: Links related projects for cross-repo intelligence.
• get_real_time_metrics: Provides live dashboard data on skill usage and performance.
