Agent integrations

Agent integrations let a coding agent search the Hansard archive without requiring direct access to archive files. The recommended setup installs an MCP configuration when the client exposes a compatible configuration surface, plus the best native command or skill surface available to that agent.

Install an integration

1. Initialize Hansard and import at least one source.

2. Add Hansard to the target agent.

   hansard integrations add-to codex

   Replace codex with claude, gemini, antigravity, devin, cursor, cline, opencode, or aider.

3. Restart or reload the target agent so it reads the updated configuration.

4. Ask the agent to recall a focused topic or continue from a prior session.

Rerun the same add-to command after upgrading Hansard when generated recall instructions need to be refreshed.

What gets installed

Native surfaces vary because agent clients expose different extension points.

Target	Installed surface
Codex	MCP configuration plus recall, continue-from, Deep Recall, and memory skills.
Claude	MCP configuration plus slash commands and matching skills.
Gemini	MCP configuration plus recall and continue-from commands.
Antigravity	MCP configuration plus recall and continue-from skills.
Devin	MCP configuration plus recall and continue-from skills.
Cursor	MCP configuration plus project-local commands and rules. Run setup from the intended project.
Cline	MCP configuration plus recall and continue-from workflows.
OpenCode	MCP configuration plus recall and continue-from commands.
Aider	Loadable recall and continue-from instructions. Aider does not expose a documented custom slash-command registry.

Deep Recall availability varies

integrations recall installs recall, continue-from, and Deep Recall surfaces where the target supports them. The standalone Deep Recall CLI and viewer are available independently of an agent’s native command system.

Install only the native recall files

Use integrations recall when the MCP configuration is managed separately:

hansard integrations recall codex

The accepted targets are all, local, codex, claude, gemini, antigravity, devin, cursor, cline, opencode, and aider.

Run the MCP server directly

Clients with a manually managed MCP configuration can launch the recall server over standard input and output:

hansard mcp serve

The server exposes search_past_sessions. Generated integrations call the installed hansard executable, so a global installation must be available on PATH unless the client configuration supplies another executable path.

Recall workflows

Recall

Finds conversations relevant to a focused topic, then reads a bounded latest-message window before reporting the result.

Continue from

Reads both the opening and latest windows of the selected conversation so the original objective, current state, tests, and next action are available.

Deep Recall

Decomposes broad questions into multiple searches and synthesizes evidence from selected complete sessions with session citations.

Generated instructions tell the agent to infer a focused query rather than passing an entire user request directly to archive search. Archive-dependent claims should remain tied to the selected session IDs.
