install
**Requirements:**
[](https://claude.ai/code)
**From shell:**
claude mcp add claude-historian-mcp -- npx claude-historian-mcp
**From inside Claude** (restart required):
Add this to our global mcp config: npx claude-historian-mcp
Install this mcp: https://github.com/Vvkmnn/claude-historian-mcp
**From any manually configurable `mcp.json`**: (Cursor, Windsurf, etc.)
{
"mcpServers": {
"claude-historian-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["claude-historian-mcp"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
There is **no `npm install` required** -- no external dependencies or local databases, only search algorithms.
However, if `npx` resolves the wrong package, you can force resolution with:
npm install -g claude-historian-mcp
**renamed:** This project was renamed from `claude-historian` to `claude-historian-mcp`. Existing users should update your install command and MCP config args to `claude-historian-mcp`.
[skill](.claude/skills/claude-historian)
Optionally, install the skill to teach Claude when to proactively use historian:
npx skills add Vvkmnn/claude-historian-mcp --skill claude-historian --global
# Optional: add --yes to skip interactive prompt and install to all agents
This makes Claude automatically check your history before web searches, when encountering errors, or at session start. The MCP works without the skill, but the skill improves discoverability.
