Common questions

Is Claude Replay safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 3 months ago, and the latest version (0.4.3) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Claude Replay

The observability layer for Claude Code sessions — search, analytics, and visualization across every project.

Claude Code's --resume/--continue and /rewind recover *the session you're in*. Claude Replay does the part they don't: it hooks passively into every session, records what happened to a local SQLite store, and makes every past session — across every project — searchable, comparable, measurable, and exportable. Full-text search, per-session insight metrics, death-cause classification (*why* a session ended), session diffing, a web dashboard, and a terminal UI — none of which Claude Code has natively.

Claude Code session

| hooks (PreToolUse · PostToolUse · Stop) | v ~/.claude-replay/sessions.db ← events + checkpoints | +----+--------------------+ | | | MCP tools Dashboard TUI (resume) :8766 (browse)

Passive hooks write. MCP tools, the web dashboard, and the terminal UI read. Nothing leaves your machine.

How this complements native Claude Code

Claude Replay is additive — it layers on top of the built-ins, it doesn't replace them.

You want to…	Use
Resume / continue the current session	Native `claude --continue`, `--resume`
Undo file + conversation changes in a session	Native `/rewind`
Search every past session by content, tool, or outcome	Replay `search`
See why a session ended + per-session metrics	Replay `status` / `replay_insights`
Compare two runs side by side	Replay `diff`
Visualize a session timeline / browse all projects	Replay dashboard + TUI
Export a session as HTML / JSON / Markdown	Replay `export --format`

Think of native resume/rewind as *recovery*, and Replay as *observability* over your whole history.

Architecture

Passive hooks write to SQLite. MCP tools read from SQLite. Dashboard + TUI visualize SQLite. That's the whole system.

Layer	File	Role
Store	`claude_replay/store.py`	All DB access — sessions, events, checkpoints
Hooks	`claude_replay/hooks.py`	Record tool calls + auto-checkpoint, dispatched by `claude-replay hook`
Recovery	`claude_replay/resume.py`	Generate a resume brief from a session
Export	`claude_replay/export.py`	Render a session as a self-contained HTML trace
Server	`claude_replay/server.py`	Starlette app — MCP SSE + JSON API + static dashboard
TUI	`claude_replay/tui.py` + `tui_client.py`	Textual session browser over the JSON API
CLI	`claude_replay/cli.py`	Every subcommand

Port 8766 deliberately one above Claude Bridge's 8765, so the two siblings can run side by side without colliding.

Quickstart

1. Install

pip install claude-replay

Or from a clone if you'd like to hack on it:

git clone https://github.com/constripacity/Claude-Replay.git

cd Claude-Replay pip install -e .[dev] # editable install with test/lint deps pip install -e .[tui] # add the terminal UI deps (textual, httpx)

If pip install -e fails on your environment (a known hatchling editable-install quirk on some setups), install the deps directly instead:

pip install mcp starlette uvicorn anyio textual httpx.

2. Install the hooks

This wires Replay into Claude Code by merging three hooks into ~/.claude/settings.json. It's idempotent and leaves any other tools' hooks untouched.

claude-replay install

✓ Installed Claude Replay hooks into ~/.claude/settings.json

PreToolUse → claude-replay hook pre-tool PostToolUse → claude-replay hook post-tool Stop → claude-replay hook stop

From now on, every Claude Code session is recorded automatically. Remove the hooks any time with claude-replay uninstall (it removes only Replay's hooks).

Confirm it's actually wired up — the one check that matters:

claude-replay doctor

Claude Replay — doctor

✓ Hooks installed: PreToolUse / PostToolUse / Stop are in settings.json ✓ Hook command on PATH: claude-replay → …/claude-replay ✓ Database: ~/.claude-replay/sessions.db ✓ Sessions recorded: 3 sessions; most recent 5m ago

All good — Replay is installed and recording. ✓

If doctor warns that claude-replay isn't on PATH, the hooks can't run and nothing is recorded — put your install directory on PATH and re-run it.

3. Start the server (dashboard + MCP tools)

claude-replay serve                 # defaults: 127.0.0.1:8766

claude-replay serve --port 9000 # custom port claude-replay serve --host 0.0.0.0 # bind all interfaces

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Claude Replay — Session checkpoint & recovery server Version: 0.4.1 DB: ~/.claude-replay/sessions.db http://localhost:8766/ ← Dashboard http://localhost:8766/sse ← MCP config http://localhost:8766/api/state ← JSON state http://localhost:8766/status ← Health check ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

4. (Optional) Register the MCP tools with Claude Code

So a running Claude Code session can call replay_resume, replay_checkpoint, etc. directly. Two ways:

SSE (alongside the dashboard — needs claude-replay serve running):

claude mcp add --transport sse -s user claude-replay http://localhost:8766/sse

stdio (no server process — the client launches Replay on demand):

claude mcp add -s user claude-replay -- claude-replay mcp

or, without installing: uvx claude-replay mcp

Verify with claude mcp list claude-replay should show ✓ Connected. Inside an already-running session, type /mcp to re-handshake.

When a session dies

# What's the state of the last session?

claude-replay status

Print a paste-ready resume brief (most recent session, or pass an id)

claude-replay resume claude-replay resume

Browse every recorded session in the terminal

claude-replay tui # needs claude-replay serve running

Export a session as a self-contained HTML trace

claude-replay export # → ~/.claude-replay/exports/ .html

Paste the resume output into a fresh Claude Code session and it picks up where the dead one left off objective, what was done, what's next, and which files were touched.

MCP Tools

Every connected Claude Code session gets these ten tools:

Tool	Description
`replay_status`	Current session summary objective, status, how it ended, event/checkpoint counts, last activity
`replay_checkpoint`	Force a checkpoint of the current session now, with an optional note
`replay_resume`	Generate a structured resume brief for a session (default: most recent)
`replay_sessions`	List recent sessions with status, model, duration, checkpoint count
`replay_insights`	Per-session metrics: how it ended, duration, tool calls, error rate, files touched, top tools
`replay_stats`	Cross-session analytics: tool calls, error rate, why sessions end, tool mix, per-project rollups
`replay_search`	Full-text search across sessions with filters (tool, cause, date, project), ranked by match count
`replay_diff`	Compare two sessions: metric deltas + which files each touched
`replay_tag`	Name a session and add/remove tags for later retrieval
`replay_export`	Render a session as a self-contained trace (html / json / md) and return the path

CLI Reference

Command	What it does
`claude-replay install`	Merge Replay's hooks into `~/.claude/settings.json` (idempotent)
`claude-replay uninstall`	Remove only Replay's hooks
`claude-replay status`	Current/last session at a glance, with insight metrics
`claude-replay sessions [--limit N]`	List recent sessions (with names + tags)
`claude-replay search [--tool T] [--cause C] [--since 7d] [--project P]`	Full-text search with filters (omit query to browse by filter)
`claude-replay diff`	Compare two sessions side by side
`claude-replay resume [session_id]`	Print a resume brief (default: most recent)
`claude-replay export [session_id] [--output DIR] [--format html\	json\	md]`	Render a trace
`claude-replay tag [session_id] [--name N] [--add a,b] [--remove c] [--clear]`	Name or tag a session
`claude-replay prune [--older-than 30d] [--yes]`	Delete sessions with no recent activity (destructive)
`claude-replay serve [--host H] [--port P]`	Start the MCP + dashboard server (port 8766)
`claude-replay mcp`	Serve the MCP tools over stdio (for `uvx claude-replay mcp` / MCP clients)
`claude-replay tui [--url URL]`	Launch the terminal session browser
`claude-replay reset [--yes]`	Delete all recorded sessions (destructive)
`claude-replay hook`	Internal — invoked by Claude Code's hooks

Dashboard & TUI

Web dashboard (claude-replay serve, then open http://localhost:8766/) a vanilla-JS view that polls every 2 s: session list (with how-it-ended badge + tags), a live search box, per-session timeline, and one-click "Copy Resume Brief" / "Export HTML". No CDN, no build step.

Terminal UI (claude-replay tui) a Textual browser in the same dark theme. A session sidebar, a live event feed, and a detail inspector showing how the session ended, its tags, the latest checkpoint, and files touched. Keys:

↑↓ navigate   Tab switch panel   Space pause

r resume (copies the brief to your clipboard) e export HTML trace ? help q quit

The TUI talks to the server over HTTP start claude-replay serve first (defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8766; point elsewhere with --url).

Configuration

Env var	Default	Purpose
`CLAUDE_REPLAY_DB`	`~/.claude-replay/sessions.db`	SQLite store location
`CLAUDE_SESSION_ID` / `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID`	—	Session identity (Claude Code sets this in the hook payload); falls back to these env vars, then to a hash of the project dir
`CLAUDE_REPLAY_CORS_ORIGIN`	localhost only	Comma-separated extra CORS origins for the server
`CLAUDE_REPLAY_NO_DASHBOARD`	—	Set to disable the static dashboard mount (MCP/JSON only)

The hook path is offline-first by design: it makes no network calls and completes in well under 50 ms just the one SQLite write. Large tool payloads are truncated at 8 KB per event so the DB stays lean.

Development

pip install -e .[dev]               # or install deps directly (see install note)

python -m pytest # full suite ruff check .

Tests use an isolated tmp_path SQLite database (the fresh_db fixture) — they never touch your real ~/.claude-replay/sessions.db. See CONTRIBUTING.md for the scope and the coding rules.
