About Claude Server MCP

What is Claude Server MCP: Hierarchical Contexts & Smart Storage?

Claude Server MCP is a specialized context management protocol designed to enhance Claude's capabilities through structured data handling. It enables persistent cross-session tracking, organized project-based context storage, and seamless conversation continuity by leveraging hierarchical structures and optimized storage mechanisms.

How to use Claude Server MCP: Hierarchical Contexts & Smart Storage?

Integration begins with automatic configuration via the Claude desktop app. Key steps include:
1. Store contexts in the `~/.claude/` directory organized by project and general categories.
2. Use API tools like save_project_context for structured data entry.
3. Apply metadata tagging and indexing for efficient retrieval through methods like get_context and list_contexts.
Configuration details reside in `claude_desktop_config.json`, specifying server execution paths.

// Save project context
use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "claude-server",
  tool_name: "save_project_context",
  arguments: {
    id: "feature-design-v1",
    projectId: "my-project",
    content: "Design discussion...",
    parentContextId: "requirements-v1",
    references: ["api-spec-v1"],
    tags: ["design"],
    metadata: { status: "in-progress" }
  }
});

Conversation Management

// Save conversation context
use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "claude-server",

  arguments: {
    id: "chat-2024-01-01",
    sessionId: "session-123",
    content: "Discussion content...",
    continuationOf: "previous-chat-id",
    tags: ["meeting"]
  }
});

Context Retrieval

// Get context
use_mcp_tool({
