LoreConvo: MCP Server Adds Persistent Session Memory to Claude Code
What LoreConvo Does
LoreConvo is a local-first MCP server that gives Claude persistent session memory, solving the problem of context loss between sessions. The developer built it while working on a complex finance automation project with a 19-node LangGraph pipeline and multiple MCP servers.
Key Features
- Auto-saves sessions via Claude Code hooks (post-session hook triggers save)
- Auto-loads relevant context on session start (pre-session hook calls get_recent_sessions)
- Cross-surface persistence — context carries between Claude Code, Cowork, and Chat
- Full-text search across all past sessions
- 12 MCP tools for AI-native access
- Local-first architecture using SQLite
Practical Impact
Sessions that used to start with 5 minutes of re-contexting now start with Claude already knowing the project state, recent decisions, and open questions. This saves roughly 3,000-8,000 tokens per session in re-contexting overhead.
Companion Tool
The developer also built LoreDocs for project knowledge management, featuring 34 MCP tools, multi-vault architecture, document versioning, and context injection.
Availability
Both tools are free for personal use under BSL 1.1 (converts to Apache 2.0 in 2030). The code is available on GitHub: LoreConvo at https://github.com/labyrinth-analytics/loreconvo and LoreDocs at https://github.com/labyrinth-analytics/loredocs.
