Rootz Archive — Claude Code MCP server for conversation search
Search a local archive of Claude Code conversations and recall decisions or find a past session. Continuous capture requires the Claude Code plugin.
Open on GitHubWhat Rootz Archive does
The plugin stores local copies of Claude Code conversations, including sub-agent chats, and files Claude edited. The MCP server lets an agent search that archive or prepare session summaries. Conversation copies live in ~/.rootz-archive/vault; the searchable database is at ~/.rootz-desktop/archives.db.
Recording requires Node.js 22.13 or newer. After installing the plugin, open a new Claude Code session and run /rootz-archive:accept to accept the licence; capture starts only after that. On Windows, an EBUSY error when adding the marketplace can be handled by adding a local clone instead. Rootz receives no archive data, but material Claude reads while searching or summarising is sent to Anthropic. Keep that in mind if conversations contain other people’s personal information or secrets.
