Which integrations are available for this server?

Automatically captures development checkpoints, branch context, and session history based on git commits and branch switches to provide AI assistants with persistent project memory.

How do I use KeepGoing MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@KeepGoing MCP Server Give me a re-entry briefing on where I left off" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

@keepgoingdev/mcp-server

MCP server for KeepGoing.dev - a momentum companion for developers. KeepGoing helps you keep going on projects when you return after time away.

KeepGoing auto-captures checkpoints (what you were doing, what's next, which files matter) on git commits, branch switches, and inactivity. When you start a new session, your AI assistant reads your last checkpoint instead of re-inferring everything from scratch. Local-first, no account required.

Quick Setup

The easiest way to get started is with the installer, which installs the CLI globally and runs the setup wizard:

curl -fsSL https://keepgoing.dev/install.sh | bash

For a specific tool:

curl -fsSL https://keepgoing.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- claude
curl -fsSL https://keepgoing.dev/install.sh | bash -s -- vscode

Claude Code (manual)

Global (recommended) — works across all your projects:

claude mcp add keepgoing --scope user -- npx -y @keepgoingdev/mcp-server

Per-project — scoped to a single project:

claude mcp add keepgoing --scope project -- npx -y @keepgoingdev/mcp-server

Then run keepgoing setup claude to configure hooks and rules.

Cursor, Windsurf, and other tools

Add to your MCP config file (~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor, or the equivalent for your tool):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "keepgoing": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@keepgoingdev/mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

Core

Tool	Description
`get_momentum`	Get your last checkpoint, next step, blockers, and branch context. Quick snapshot of where you left off. Accepts optional `tier` and `model` params for token-aware output.
`get_reentry_briefing`	Get a synthesized re-entry briefing with focus, recent activity, and suggested next steps. Accepts optional `tier` and `model` params for token-aware briefing tiers.
`get_session_history`	Get recent session checkpoints in chronological order. Supports branch filtering and configurable limit.
`get_whats_hot`	See recently active files and branches across sessions.
`continue_on`	Export your development context as a formatted prompt for another AI tool (chatgpt, gemini, copilot, claude, general).
`save_checkpoint`	Save a development checkpoint after completing a task or meaningful piece of work.

Paid Add-ons

Tool	Add-on	Description
`get_decisions`	Decision Detection	Get recent high-signal commits with their category, confidence, and rationale.
`get_current_task`	Session Awareness	Get current live session tasks across multiple concurrent AI agent sessions.
`activate_license`		Activate a KeepGoing license on this device.
`deactivate_license`		Deactivate the KeepGoing license on this device.

How It Works

Add this MCP server to your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
Start coding. Use save_checkpoint from your AI assistant to capture what you did, what's next, and any blockers
Come back anytime. Your AI assistant calls get_momentum or get_reentry_briefing to pick up exactly where you left off
Optionally, install the KeepGoing VS Code extension for automatic checkpoint capture on inactivity, git commits, and branch switches — no manual saves needed

All data is stored locally in a .keepgoing/ directory at your git root.

Requirements

Node.js 18+
The KeepGoing VS Code extension is optional — useful for auto-capturing checkpoints on git commits, branch switches, and inactivity, but the MCP server works standalone via save_checkpoint
