Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Search and open dashboards, reports, decks and PRs that Claude Code and Codex made on your Mac.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: –
  • Transport:
  • Category: Search & AI memory

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

The maker has not listed install details in the registry. See the maker’s README below.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Sesame safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (0.2.3) reached the registry 31 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.

What can I use instead?

Sesame

Stop digging through chats. Your library of AI creations: say a sentence and get back anything Claude Code or Codex delivered.

Install in two lines (macOS 13+):

brew install qiwei66/tap/sesame

sesame

Website · 中文

▶ Watch the full promo (45 s)

Before: scroll through 20 chats to find yesterday's dashboard. Now: say "yesterday's dashboard".

Your AI builds dashboards, reports, decks, sites and pull requests. A week later they are buried in long chats. Sesame keeps a local library of every artifact your AI delivered, so a few words bring it back: the artifact itself, not the chat it came from.

Session viewers show you the conversation. Sesame opens what the conversation produced.

What it does

Type, and it's already there Results show up with the first letters. ↑ ↓ to pick, ↵ to open. If nothing local fits, ↵ lets Sesame search everything.

Hold the hot key and say it Hot key: ⌥⇧Space (switch to ⌘Space in Settings). Tap it to type; hold it to talk, let go to send. "Open last week's trading dashboard" opens the dashboard itself.

Useful the moment you install it On first launch it reads your existing Claude Code and Codex history and counts every artifact your AI delivered.

More than one match? Pick one When several names fit, you get a short list instead of a guess; when none fits, it says so instead of offering filler. Local services, Claude pages, files, PRs, sites and online docs all count.

Share your number Share on the first-run panel turns your number into a 1200×675 image, saves it to Downloads and copies it, ready to paste into a post. Only counts are on it: no titles, paths or names.

Install

brew install qiwei66/tap/sesame

sesame

<!-- the tap is github.com/qiwei66/homebrew-tap (formula source: packaging/homebrew/) -->

sesame puts Sesame.app in ~/Applications and starts it; run it again any time (an older copy from make install is kept as Sesame.app.bak- ). Homebrew brings Node.js, builds the app from source on your Mac and ad-hoc signs it: no Gatekeeper warning, no Apple Developer account needed. The first install compiles the app and takes a few minutes; it needs the Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install), which Homebrew itself already requires.

Or install from source (Node.js 22.18+ and the Xcode Command Line Tools, xcode-select --install):

git clone https://github.com/qiwei66/sesame.git

cd sesame make install open ~/Applications/Sesame.app

make uninstall removes it and keeps your settings. The hot key is ⌥⇧Space; switch to ⌘Space in Settings › Hot key.

Use it in Claude Code

Sesame also runs inside Claude Code as a plugin. Ask in plain words in any session and Claude looks it up in your library, then opens it on your Mac. The app is optional: without it, the plugin builds the same local index from your Claude Code and Codex history; with it, both share one index.

claude plugin marketplace add qiwei66/sesame && claude plugin install sesame@sesame

Inside a session, /plugin marketplace add qiwei66/sesame and then /plugin install sesame@sesame do the same. It needs Node.js 22.18+ with npm, which Claude Code uses to install the plugin's packages.

You: Where is the trading dashboard from last week?

Claude: *(search_artifacts → open_artifact)* Found it: your Trading Dashboard is a local web service at

http://127.0.0.1:8787, last seen on September 27. It's opening in your browser now.

You: Open the report I made yesterday

Claude: *(search_artifacts → open_artifact)* Found yesterday's report, Q3 sales report (a Markdown file),

and opened it.

Already installed the app with Homebrew or make install? Its va works as an MCP server too: claude mcp add sesame -- va mcp.

Three tools: search_artifacts (title, type, link, time and source session of each match), open_artifact and artifact_stats. Any other MCP client can run the same server with va mcp; see docs/mcp.md.

Privacy

  • The index stays on your Mac (~/Library/Application Support/Sesame) and is never uploaded.
  • Sesame only reads ~/.claude/projects and ~/.codex/sessions, and never writes to them.
  • A model is optional. If you set one up, it gets your sentence, your app names and, when local search can't decide, each candidate's type, title and a few keywords. Never full links, file paths or your clipboard.
  • In Claude Code, the matches you ask about (title, type, link, time) go to the model of that conversation, the same one you are already talking to. Nothing goes anywhere else.

More

System actions (disk space, moving files to the Trash), custom commands, skills and model setup: docs/advanced.md.

If Sesame saved you one search through old chats, a star helps other people find it.
