Why it matters

Useful for AI engineering teams and power users who have months of Claude Code / Codex / Pi / Aider session history sitting in ~/.claude/projects, ~/.codex/sessions, and similar agent session ledgers and want a real deterministic MIT search engine over that history (no LLM, no embeddings, no API key), for any team that wants an MCP-exposed memory layer their existing agent harness can hit without

Where this stands now

vshulcz/deja-vu ranks #4 of 7 tracked Agent Memory items by composite score (8.2 against a section median of 8.2). The section currently carries 4 Silver, 3 Gold. RepoRadar has retained observations for this record since 2026-08-13 (58 days in the current window).

Who should use it

AI engineering teams and power users who have months of Claude Code / Codex / Pi / Aider session history sitting in ~/.claude/projects, ~/.codex/sessions, and similar agent session ledgers any team that wants an MCP-exposed memory layer their existing agent harness can hit without paying API cost anyone evaluating a real benchmarked local-first alternative to cloud-agent memory SaaS that does not require rebuilding the existing agent runtime

Who should skip it

Skip vshulcz/deja-vu if the source link, documentation, or setup requirements do not align with your current workflow or stack.

Risk explanation

Deja-vu reads the agent session ledgers under ~/.claude/projects, ~/.codex/sessions, and similar; the index includes session contents (user prompts, tool calls, file paths, code snippets) -- confirm the binary's data-handling posture and pin it to a single user account before enabling MCP exposure to a shared agent harness.
