Local History MCP Server

Access Cursor/VS Code Local History through the Model Context Protocol for AI-powered data recovery

CI Release MCP

Overview

This MCP server bridges the gap between AI assistants and editor Local History, enabling data recovery and enhanced context awareness. Unlike undo/redo, Local History captures file snapshots at save points, preserving work that would otherwise be lost.

Problem: Current AI assistants (Claude, Cursor AI, GitHub Copilot) cannot access Local History data despite having extensive diagnostic capabilities.

Solution: Simple MCP server providing direct access to Cursor/VS Code Local History for personal use.
