Forkmind MCP Server

Treat your AI conversation history like a Git repository - capture every call, branch from any turn, and diff outcomes side by side. All on your machine. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with dag, local first and ollama and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
