Getting Started

Get DepthFusion running and your first recall query in under 5 minutes.

1. Install

pip install depthfusion
python -m depthfusion.install.install

The install script sets up the local SQLite store, embedding cache, and default config under ~/.config/depthfusion/.

2. Register with Claude Code

Add DepthFusion to your Claude Code MCP config (~/.claude/settings.json or .claude/settings.json in your project):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depthfusion": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "depthfusion.mcp.server"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code. You should see the DepthFusion tools available in your session.

3. Verify the connection

In a Claude Code session, call:

depthfusion_status

You'll get component status — storage, retrieval layer, and any active feature flags.

4. Your first recall

depthfusion_recall_relevant query="authentication middleware"

On a fresh install, results will be empty. As you work, DepthFusion captures context from your sessions. Subsequent calls surface what was learned earlier.
