"""
Local MCP server for use with Claude Code (stdio transport).
This runs a fully local Hindsight instance with embedded PostgreSQL (pg0).
No external database or server required.
Run with:
hindsight-local-mcp
Or with uvx:
uvx hindsight-api@latest hindsight-local-mcp
Configure in Claude Code's MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"hindsight": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["hindsight-api@latest", "hindsight-local-mcp"],
"env": {
"HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY": "your-openai-key"
}
}
}
}
Environment variables:
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_API_KEY: Required. API key for LLM provider.
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_PROVIDER: Optional. LLM provider (default: "openai").
HINDSIGHT_API_LLM_MODEL: Optional. LLM model (default: "gpt-4o-mini").
HINDSIGHT_API_MCP_LOCAL_BANK_ID: Optional. Memory bank ID (default: "mcp").
HINDSIGHT_API_LOG_LEVEL: Optional. Log level (default: "info").
