Rootz Archive MCP server

Rootz Archive

Archive keeps an exact copy of every Claude Code conversation, and every file Claude edits, on your own computer, so your AI can search everything you've worked on together.

Free for individual users. No account. The plugin makes no network connections.

Install

Use is subject to the Rootz Archive Use Licence. By installing you accept it.

claude plugin marketplace add rootz-global/rootz-archive
claude plugin install rootz-archive@rootz

Start a new Claude Code session, then type /rootz-archive:accept to accept the licence. Rootz Archive doesn't capture anything until you do. After that, each session opens with a one-line status, for example:

🟢 Rootz Archive (this computer): Captured · last capture 2 min ago · 327 conversations and 1,409 AI-edited files

captured

Needs: Node.js 22.13 or newer (node -v); install it from https://nodejs.org or with brew install node. Nothing else to install. Without it, Rootz Archive tells you at session start that it isn't archiving.

Windows: if claude plugin marketplace add fails with EBUSY: resource busy or locked, install from a local clone instead. Run git clone https://github.com/rootz-global/rootz-archive C:\rootz-plugins\rootz-archive, then claude plugin marketplace add C:\rootz-plugins\rootz-archive, then claude plugin install rootz-archive@rootz. To update later, run git pull in that folder.

Use it

Just ask Claude:

• "What did we decide about the login flow last month?"
• "Find the session where we fixed the upload bug."
• "Is Rootz Archive working?"

Or type /rootz-archive:archive for a summary of what's captured.

Your AI can also summarise past sessions with your own Claude account and add the summaries to the search. Ask "summarise my five longest unsummarised sessions". Archive never holds an AI key, and summaries never replace the original conversation.

What it keeps, and where

It never copies your settings, credentials or caches. The file formats are open and described in FORMAT.md.

Every answer from Rootz Archive ends with "Source: Rootz Archive · this computer", so you always know which archive answered.

Upgrading

Rootz Archive is the archive from Rootz Desktop, packaged on its own. Installing Rootz Desktop later opens the same archive with nothing to import, and adds anchoring, decentralised backup and connections for web AIs.
