@keepgoingdev/mcp-server

MCP server for KeepGoing.dev that gives AI coding assistants persistent project memory.

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 context instead of re-inferring everything from scratch. Local-first, no account required.

Quick Setup

Claude Code

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

Manual config

Add to your MCP config (e.g., ~/.claude/claude_code_config.json):

{
  "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.
`get_reentry_briefing`	Get a synthesized re-entry briefing with focus, recent activity, and suggested next steps.
`get_session_history`	Get recent session checkpoints in chronological order. Supports branch filtering and configurable limit.
`save_checkpoint`	Save a development checkpoint after completing a task or meaningful piece of work.
`setup_project`	Set up KeepGoing in the current project. Adds session hooks and CLAUDE.md instructions for automatic checkpoints.

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

Install the KeepGoing VS Code extension to capture session data automatically
Add this MCP server to your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
Start coding. Checkpoints are saved on git commits, branch switches, and periods of inactivity
Come back anytime. Your AI assistant calls get_momentum or get_reentry_briefing to pick up exactly where you left off

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

Requirements

KeepGoing VS Code extension installed and active
Node.js 18+
