Backscroll MCP Server

Never lose a command's output again. Your shell history remembers what you typed. backscroll remembers what it printed. Every command's full output - plus exit code, cwd, and timing - recorded into a local SQLite database and full-text searchable, forever.

People who work with developer tools, history and productivity and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Go.
