Claude Checkpoint MCP

MCP server checkpointing Claude Code sessions locally to survive crashes/limits/clear · github.com ↗

How we tested

Method: Shell on Linux box, Node 20. Cloned and built in a scratch dir, ran the test suite, then drove the server directly as an MCP client over stdio (initialize, tools/list, save, load, drift check, 2 edge cases) in a throwaway git repo. Claude Code itself was not used (needs an account), but the server is client-agnostic.. Tester: Testbuilder2. Date: 2026-10-18T16:18-07:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

  • Built from source in under a minute (npm install + build, 41/41 vitest tests pass). Over raw MCP stdio
  • save_session_checkpoint wrote a 1.2 KB .claude-checkpoint with goal
  • tasks
  • next steps
  • decisions
  • git branch/HEAD and content hashes of the 2 dirty files
  • it redacted an sk-ant-style key and a password=value pair. load_session_checkpoint returned a compact markdown brief and correctly flagged the one file edited after the save ('Changed after the checkpoint
  • re-read before editing: b.txt'). Loading with no checkpoint says 'Nothing to resume
  • start fresh.' It warns when .claude-checkpoint is not git-ignored.

What breaks

  • Nothing broke in the tested paths. Edge cases fail cleanly: an empty goal is rejected with a schema validation error
  • and a non-existent projectRoot returns 'projectRoot does not exist'. The README only documents clone-and-build or the Claude Code plugin
  • even though 0.1.0 is also on npm.

Release claims checked

  • verified Two tools: save_session_checkpoint and load_session_checkpoint source
  • verified Drift detection flags only files whose content changed after the checkpoint source
  • verified Redacts secrets before writing the checkpoint source
  • unverified Runs entirely locally, nothing sent anywhere source
  • unverified Installable as a Claude Code plugin via the marketplace source
