Conversation Handoff MCP server

Pass your chat context from one AI conversation or project to another, without copy-pasting.

This is a small helper that lets you carry a conversation from one AI chat into another. You save the chat in one place, then load it somewhere else, so the new chat already knows what you talked about. It is handy if you use Claude Desktop and Claude Code, or jump between projects, and you are tired of re-explaining everything from scratch.

What is an MCP server? The 30-second version

On its own, your AI can only chat with you in the window you have open. An MCP server is a small helper program that gives your AI a new skill or a connection to something. This one gives your AI a shared clipboard for conversations, so it can save what you discussed and pick it up again later, in another chat or another project. You just ask in normal words, and the AI uses this helper behind the scenes.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI to save the current conversation, and it writes the whole thing down, word for word, into a shared memory space. Later, in a different chat or project, you ask your AI to load that saved conversation, and it reads it back so it can continue where you left off. The saved chats live in memory, not in files on your disk, and they are shared between all the AI apps connected to the same helper. You can also list what you saved, search it by tags or text, merge several saved chats into one, or delete ones you no longer need.

Flow diagram: you ask your AI “Save this chat so I can pick it up later”, on your own computer the Conversation Handoff MCP server works with your own computer, and you get back your chat, ready in a new chat.

What you can do with it

Save a whole conversation so you can pick it up later
Load a saved conversation into a new chat or project
List all your saved conversations with short summaries

Merge several related conversations into one
Add notes or comments to a saved conversation
Delete one saved conversation or clear them all

What it gives back to you

When you save, your AI tells you the key and title it used, so you can find it again. When you list, you get short summaries with titles, dates, and status, not the full text, which keeps things light. When you load, the full conversation comes back into the chat, and your AI can read it and keep working. Searching gives you the matching handoffs, and merging gives you one combined conversation.

Before you start

What you need

An MCP client such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, or Cursor
Node.js installed on your computer (the helper runs through npx, which comes with Node.js)

Good to know

Saved conversations live in memory only, so they disappear when the shared server stops, and anyone using the same helper on your machine can see them.

Install it with your AI

Add Conversation Handoff MCP server to your AI, no technical skills needed

You don't install anything by hand. You copy one prompt, paste it into an AI that can work on your computer, and it checks, installs and connects the server for you, asking you when it needs something.

Sign in to get the install prompt

Members get a ready-made prompt that lets the Claude desktop app check Conversation Handoff MCP server, install it and connect it for them, step by step. You don't need any technical skills: you copy, paste and answer a few questions. Your connected AI can also find and install any of the 4,066 MCP servers here for you.
