Nelly is an MCP server that searches your past Claude Code session transcripts (JSONL files stored in ~/.claude/projects/) and helps you find and resume old conversations. It searches across ALL projects at once, regardless of which project you're currently working in.
Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
