Documentation

Get started with Recall in under 5 minutes. Connect your team and never lose context again.

Quick Start

1

Sign up

Create an account using GitHub OAuth. It takes 30 seconds.

2

Install Recall

After signup, you'll get a personalized install command. Run it in your terminal:

bash
npx recall-mcp-setup@latest YOUR_TOKEN

This automatically configures Claude Code with Recall and preserves your existing MCP servers.

3

Restart Claude Code

Restart Claude Code to load Recall. You'll see Recall tools available in your session.

Prefer manual setup? Add this to ~/.claude/mcp.json:

json
{ "mcpServers": { "recall": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "recall-mcp-v3"], "env": { "RECALL_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here", "RECALL_API_URL": "https://api-v3.recall.team" } } } }

The Magic Moment

Start a new session and ask: "What did I work on last?" Claude will tell you about your previous session. That's team memory working.

How It Works

1

Session Start

When you start a Claude Code session, Recall automatically loads your team's context: recent decisions, mistakes to avoid, and relevant history.

2

During Session

Work normally with Claude Code. Recall captures key decisions and context in the background without interrupting your flow.

3

Session End

When you save your session, Recall summarizes what was accomplished and makes it available to your team.

Available MCP Tools

Security

Data Protection

Your source code never leaves your machine. We receive a preprocessed transcript, summarize it with AI, encrypt the summary, then delete the transcript. Only encrypted summaries are stored.

  • Source code never uploaded - only conversation summaries
  • AES-256-GCM encryption for all stored summaries
  • Team-specific encryption keys
  • Raw transcripts deleted immediately after summarization
