Summary
Indexes the coding-agent sessions already sitting on your disk — months of history from before you installed it — and serves them back over MCP. 3.5 GB searched in ~1.5 ms, no LLM, no embeddings.
Features
- Indexes agent sessions already on disk — history from before you installed it
- ~1.5 ms median search across 3.5 GB
- 84.9% hit@1 on LongMemEval-S, 69.8% on LoCoMo — harnesses included in the repo
- No LLM, no embeddings, no API key
- Reads across seventeen agent harnesses
- Session-start auto-recall where the harness supports it
- One zero-dependency binary; moves between machines over SSH
- Per-platform .mcpb bundles for desktop MCP clients
Installation
Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.
Description
Every other memory tool starts empty and records forward, which means it is useless for the first few months. deja-vu starts full. It indexes the session transcripts your coding agents have already written to disk — months of history from before you installed it — and hands them back to any agent over MCP.
The numbers
Median search over 3.5 GB is about 1.5 ms. Retrieval accuracy is 84.9% hit@1 on LongMemEval-S and 69.8% on LoCoMo, with zero LLM calls, zero embeddings and zero API keys. Both benchmark harnesses ship in the repository and run on the public datasets in minutes, so the claims are checkable rather than asserted.
What it recalls
The pitch is a question asked twice: without deja-vu the agent has no record of it; with deja-vu it answers using a decision made eight months earlier — and nobody ran a search, the agent called deja itself. It reads across seventeen agent harnesses, so a decision recorded in Claude Code is available in Codex or OpenCode later.
Install and wiring
One zero-dependency Go binary, fully local:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vshulcz/deja-vu/main/install.sh | shAlso available through go install, npx @vshulcz/deja-vu, and Homebrew (brew install vshulcz/tap/deja-vu). Desktop clients that take MCP bundles can use the per-platform .mcpb from each release, which carries the binary so there is nothing else to install.
deja install --all wires MCP recall into every agent it finds on the machine, editing configs and keeping a .bak; deja install --auto adds session-start auto-recall where the harness supports it. Install also builds the index from your existing history. It moves with you between machines over SSH, and ships shell completions for bash, zsh and fish.
