Cross-session memory for Claude Code — never lose context between sessions.

Claude Memory Manager automatically captures architectural decisions, code changes, bug fixes, and configuration choices from your Claude Code sessions, then intelligently retrieves relevant context when you start new sessions.

Every time you use Claude Code, valuable context is created and lost when the session ends:

• Which libraries you chose and why
• Bug fixes and their root causes
• Configuration decisions
• File structure and naming conventions
• Error resolutions

Claude Memory Manager solves this by:

1. Parsing your Claude Code session logs (JSONL files)
2. Extracting meaningful memories with importance scoring
3. Embedding memories for semantic search
4. Storing everything in a local SQLite database with FTS5
5. Retrieving relevant context via hybrid semantic + keyword search
6. Serving context to Claude Desktop via MCP protocol

pip install claude-memory-manager

For local embeddings (no API key needed):

pip install claude-memory-manager[local]

For development:

pip install claude-memory-manager[dev]

claude-memory init

This creates the SQLite database at ~/.claude-memory/memory.db and saves a config file.

# Ingest all sessions from the default path (~/.claude/projects/)
claude-memory ingest

# Ingest from a specific path
claude-memory ingest /path/to/sessions

# Watch for new sessions and auto-ingest
claude-memory ingest --watch

# Search across all memories
