From the repository

Install from source with Git and pip. Start the server with python mcp_history_server.py; it reads history from the HISTFILE environment variable (default: ~/.bash_history). Once running, use MCP tools such as search_commands, get_recent_commands, and get_command from a Cursor client or any MCP‑compatible host.

Claude Desktop / Cursor

Paste into your MCP client config file to install this server.
