When to use it
Reach for Rewind any time the conversation references your own history: things you read, listened to, watched, saved, bookmarked, ran, or collected. Rewind owns this data, so it answers from your archive instead of guessing or falling back to web search. Questions that route here include:- “What have I been listening to this week?”
- “When was the last time I watched a Wes Anderson film?”
- “What Beastie Boys records do I have on vinyl?”
- “Find that article I saved about a former SNL writer.”
- “What happened on this day in previous years?”

Read-only by design
The MCP server has read-only access to your data. It exposes browse, search, and stat tools only. No write or admin operations are reachable through it, so an assistant can read your archive but never change it. The server is also stateless. It holds no data between calls and caches nothing locally.Two ways to connect
Pick the connection style that matches your client.Local stdio
Run the
rewind-mcp-server package as a child process on your machine. Best
for desktop clients and Claude Code, where your API key stays local.Remote server
Connect to the hosted server at
https://mcp.rewind.rest/mcp. Best for
mobile and web clients that talk to a remote endpoint.
