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.
