# Conversation Continuity MCP
**File Path:** `/Users/Luther/RiderProjects/claude/mcp-servers/conversation-continuity/README.md`
An advanced Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that revolutionizes AI conversation continuity through intelligent context compression, session state management, and seamless handoffs.
## šÆ Problem Solved
When working with AI on long development sessions, conversations hit token limits and context is lost. This breaks workflow continuity and forces manual context recreation. The Conversation Continuity MCP solves this with:
- **Smart Context Compression**: Keep relevant information, compress the rest
- **Session State Tracking**: Maintain working state across conversation boundaries
- **Session Rules**: Persistent user preferences that survive session changes
- **Predictive Context**: Learn what context you actually need
- **Seamless Handoffs**: Automatic session transitions with zero friction
## šļø Architecture
### Core Components
1. **Smart Context Compression Engine**
- Semantic analysis of conversation content
- Relevance scoring and intelligent compression
- Preserves critical decisions and code changes
2. **Conversation State Machine**
- Tracks current project, tasks, and decisions
- Maintains active files and next steps
- Manages session rules and preferences
3. **Hierarchical Memory System**
- L1: Recent conversation (instant access)
- L2: Session summaries (fast retrieval)
- L3: Full archive (searchable)
4. **Session Rules Management**
- User-defined workflow preferences
- Automatic rule enforcement
- Learning from user patterns
5. **Predictive Context Engine**
- Pattern recognition for common workflows
- Context prediction based on task type
- Optimization through usage learning
## š Features
### Session Rules
Define persistent rules that follow you across all conversations:
```javascript
"Always check with me before creating artifacts"
"Display completed work in right panel for review"
"Include full file paths in all artifacts"
"Check existing architecture before new implementations"
```
### Intelligent Context Management
- **85% threshold**: Begin compression preparation
- **90% threshold**: Create handoff package
- **95% threshold**: Force session boundary
- **Automatic reconstruction**: Seamless context restoration
### Learning & Optimization
- Pattern recognition for your workflow
- Suggest new rules based on repeated corrections
- Optimize context predictions over time
- Track what context is actually useful
## š¦ Installation
```bash
# Clone or create the project
cd /Users/Luther/RiderProjects/claude/mcp-servers/conversation-continuity
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Build the project
npm run build
# Run in development mode
npm run dev
```
## āļø Configuration
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"conversation-continuity": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/Users/Luther/RiderProjects/claude/mcp-servers/conversation-continuity/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"DATABASE_URL": "postgresql://username:password@localhost/conversation_continuity"
}
}
}
}
```
## šļø Database Setup

```bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Run in development mode with hot reload
npm run dev
# Run tests
npm test
# Run tests in watch mode
npm run test:watch
# Type checking
npm run type-check
# Linting
npm run lint
npm run lint:fix
```

## šļø MCP Functions
### Session Rules Management
- `createRule(rule)`: Define new session rules
- `getRules()`: Retrieve active rules
- `enforceRules(action)`: Validate actions against rules
### Context Management
- `monitorConversationLength()`: Track token usage
- `compressHistory()`: Intelligent context compression
- `createHandoffPackage()`: Prepare session transition
### State Tracking
- `updateWorkingState()`: Track current project state
- `getRelevantContext()`: Retrieve contextually relevant info
- `searchHistory()`: Search conversation archive
## šÆ Usage Examples
### Creating Session Rules
```typescript
// User preference for approval gates
await createRule({
text: "Always check before creating artifacts",
type: "approval",
triggers: ["artifact_create"],
enforcement: "hard_block"
});
```
### Automatic Context Compression
```typescript
// Monitor conversation length
const status = await monitorConversationLength();
if (status.percentage > 85) {
// Automatically compress and prepare handoff
await compressHistory(0.85);
const handoff = await createHandoffPackage();
}
```
## š¬ Testing
```bash
# Run all tests
npm test
# Run with coverage
npm run test:coverage
# Test specific component
npm test -- --testNamePattern="SessionRules"
```
