- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Clone the repository, build the Docker image (docker build -t cursor-history-mcp .), and run the container (docker run -p 8000:8000 cursor-history-mcp). Access the API documentation at http://localhost:8000/docs. Use the POST /search endpoint to query chat history and GET /history to retrieve all records.
cursor_history_list
List Cursor AI chat sessions. Returns recent sessions with metadata including workspace, message count, and timestamps.
cursor_history_show
Show the full content of a specific Cursor AI chat session including all messages, tool calls, and AI responses.
cursor_history_search
Search across all Cursor AI chat sessions for a keyword or phrase. Returns matching sessions with context around each match.
cursor_history_export
Export a Cursor AI chat session to Markdown or JSON format. Returns the formatted content.
cursor_history_backup
Create a backup of all Cursor AI chat history. Saves a portable archive that can be restored later.
cursor_history_restore
β οΈ DESTRUCTIVE: Restore Cursor AI chat history from a backup file. This operation OVERWRITES your current chat history. Consider creating a backup of your current data first using cursor_history_backup.
cursor_history_migrate
β οΈ DESTRUCTIVE: Move or copy chat sessions between workspaces. When moving (not copying), the original session is deleted. Consider creating a backup first using cursor_history_backup.
cursor_history_year_pack
Generate a year-in-review data package from Cursor AI chat history. Produces a sanitized JSON summary with statistics, topics, and keywords, plus a prompt template for LLM-based report generation. Read-only operation.
