Overview
What is Cursor History?
Cursor History is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes your Cursor AI chat history to AI assistants like Claude. It lets you browse, search, export, back up, and migrate Cursor chat sessions—all through natural language, directly reading from Cursor’s native SQLite database.
How to use Cursor History?
Run the server with a single npx cursor-history-mcp command (no installation required). Then configure the MCP settings in Cursor, Claude Code, or Claude Desktop by adding the server definition with command: "npx" and args: ["-y", "cursor-history-mcp"]. After setup, use natural language requests like “List my Cursor chat sessions” or “Search my Cursor history for ‘authentication’”.
