What is Rewindex?

Rewindex is an auto-snapshot MCP server for AI agents. It automatically captures every file change in the background — no commits needed — so when something breaks, the AI can check the log and rewind instantly.

How to use Rewindex?

Install via pipx install rewindex, then run rewindex init. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible agent. Commands include manual snapshots (create_snap, get_snaps), rewinding (rewind_session, rewind_file, rewind_relative), history inspection (get_log, get_diff), code audit (find_version_by_pattern), and milestone management (create_flag, export_flags).
