MCP server for browsing, searching, and exporting Cursor AI chat history
MCP server for browsing, searching, and exporting Cursor AI chat history. Exposed over MCP by the cursor history mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Bring your Cursor AI chat history directly into Claude. Search past conversations, export sessions, create backups, and generate year-in-review reports—all through natural language. Built on the Model Context Protocol for seamless AI assistant integration.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
cursor_history_list — List chat sessions with metadatacursor_history_show — View full conversation contentcursor_history_search — Search across all sessionscursor_history_export — Export session to Markdown or JSONcursor_history_backup — Create backup of all historycursor_history_restore — Restore from backup (destructive)cursor_history_migrate — Move/copy sessions between workspaces (destructive)cursor_history_year_pack — Generate year-in-review data package with stats, topics, and prompt templateCursor — The Cursor tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at cursor-history-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Cursor History MCP's toolset — cursor_history_list, cursor_history_show, cursor_history_search and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by s2thend; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
