This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add claude-checkpoint-mcp -- npx -y session-checkpoint-mcp
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "claude-checkpoint-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "session-checkpoint-mcp"
      ]

    }
  }
}

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: CHECKPOINT_PROJECT_ROOT (Optional. Absolute path of the default project to checkpoint, used when the client has no current project (e.g. Claude Desktop). A projectRoot argument on a tool call takes precedence), CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID (Set automatically by Claude Code; do not set it yourself. Selects the per-session checkpoint file (.claude-checkpoints/<session-id>.json). Without it the server uses the shared .claude-checkpoint file).

Claude Checkpoint MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Claude Checkpoint MCP?
Claude Checkpoint MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package session-checkpoint-mcp.
How do I connect Claude Checkpoint MCP?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls session-checkpoint-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is Claude Checkpoint MCP open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 0 stars on GitHub and 8 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
