What is the Recall MCP server?

Recall MCP server is a hosted integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Install it once, point your MCP client at it, and your AI now:.

What the assistant can call

Once Recall is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:

  • Append — only artifacts** — every write also lands as a .md file. If the
  • Cost — Per-token / monthly SaaS
  • Embeddings — Their service
  • Air-gappable — No
  • MCP-native — Wrapper or SDK
  • Self-host — one docker run
  • Path — What
  • Capability — OSS (this repo)
  • Pricingfree

Setting it up

Being a remote server, there is no local install. You register the endpoint with your client, authorise it once, and the tools appear.

Choosing this one

This sits in the cloud and infrastructure group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Recall's toolset — Append, Cost, Embeddings and 6 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by recallworks; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Recall's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Before you rely on it

  • Your data travels to the provider's service, so the usual questions apply about what you send and what they retain.
  • With 9 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Recall.
  • MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the recall mcp server does with a few real requests.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Recall to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 9 tools (Append, Cost, Embeddings, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Recall directly.
