# Lore MCP

**Version control for AI coding context** - Commit your intent, not just your code.

[![PyPI version](https://badge.fury.io/py/lore-mcp.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/py/lore-mcp)
[![Python 3.12+](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.12+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

## What is Lore MCP?

Lore MCP captures and preserves the **thinking process** behind AI-assisted coding. When you work with AI coding assistants like Claude, the conversation context—your intent, assumptions, alternatives considered, and decisions made—is just as valuable as the code itself.

```
Traditional Version Control:
  git commit → "Added authentication module"

Lore MCP:
  lore commit → Intent: "Implement JWT authentication with refresh tokens"
                Assumptions: ["Redis available for token storage"]
                Alternatives: ["Session-based auth", "OAuth2 only"]
                Decision: "JWT chosen for stateless scalability"
```

## Features

- **Context Commits**: Record intent, assumptions, alternatives, and decisions
- **Context Search**: Search your coding history by intent
- **Context Blame**: Find the AI conversation that led to any code change
- **MCP Integration**: Native integration with Claude Code via Model Context Protocol
- **Claude Code Hooks**: Automatic context capture during AI coding sessions
- **Cloud Sync**: All data synced to cloud for access anywhere
- **Team Sharing**: Share context with your team (Pro/Team plans)

## Installation

```bash
pip install lore-mcp
```

Or with uvx (no installation required):

```bash
uvx lore-mcp lore --help
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Get Your API Key

1. Visit [Lore Dashboard](https://lore-dashboard.jadecon2655.workers.dev)
2. Sign up / Login with GitHub
3. Go to **API Keys** and create a new key

### 2. Configure API Key

```bash
export LORE_API_KEY=lore_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

Or add to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`):

```bash
echo 'export LORE_API_KEY=lore_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' >> ~/.zshrc
```

### 3. Create Context Commits

```bash
# Manual commit with intent
lore commit -m "Implement user authentication with JWT"

# Interactive mode
lore commit -i
```

### 4. Search and Blame

```bash
# Search by intent
lore search "authentication"

# Blame a file (find context for code)
lore blame src/auth.py

# Check usage
lore usage
```

## MCP Server Integration

Lore provides an MCP server for Claude Code integration.

### Setup with Claude Code

Add to your Claude Code settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lore": {
      "command": "lore-mcp",
      "env": {
        "LORE_API_KEY": "lore_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Or with uvx:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lore": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["lore-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "LORE_API_KEY": "lore_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Available MCP Tools

| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `lore_init` | Set up Claude Code hooks |
| `lore_commit` | Create a context commit |
| `lore_blame` | Find context for a file |
| `lore_search` | Search context commits |
| `lore_status` | Check connection status |

## Claude Code Hooks

For automatic context capture, ask Claude to run `lore_init` (MCP tool), or run manually:

```bash
uvx lore-mcp lore init
```

This will configure hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json` automatically.

Or manually add to `~/.claude/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "*",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uvx --from lore-mcp python -m lore.hooks.post_tool_use"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "Stop": [
      {
        "matcher": "*",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "uvx --from lore-mcp python -m lore.hooks.on_stop"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```
