Context Vault + Claude Code: 5-Minute Setup
Install Context Vault, connect Claude Code over MCP, and verify your first persistent memory workflow.
Why this workflow matters
Most coding sessions restart context from scratch. Persistent memory removes repeated prompting and makes follow-up tasks faster.
Context Vault gives Claude Code a reliable MCP memory layer so prior decisions, notes, and patterns are available across sessions.
Setup flow
Run npx context-vault to install and configure everything. This sets up your local vault, downloads embeddings, validates tool health, and starts a shared daemon that auto-updates.
Then connect your client with one MCP endpoint and verify your first tool call using context_status, followed by save_context and get_context.
Production checklist
Use one canonical MCP endpoint, keep your vault folder under version control where appropriate, and monitor first-run activation events.
The highest-leverage metric is register to first successful get_context in under three minutes.
