Transient Recall — Install & Verify

Fast install path for TR with concrete checks to confirm MCP connectivity and project-scoped continuity.

1) Install

Terminal
bash <(curl -fsSL https://transientintelligence.com/install/recall)

This starts TR + Postgres, applies migrations, and prints MCP config/rule snippets.

2) Verify service health

Terminal
curl http://localhost:8090/healthz

Expect a healthy JSON response. If you changed ports, replace 8090 with your TR_PORT.

3) Verify MCP tools are visible

In your MCP-capable client, reload MCP servers and run:

Prompt
Call tr_status for project: my-project

If tr_status responds, MCP wiring is active.

4) Verify project continuity

  1. Run one checkpoint: tr_checkpoint with your current goal.
  2. Run tr_resume with the same project key.
  3. Confirm the latest checkpoint appears in the returned context pack.

Keep x-tr-project stable across restarts to avoid continuity drift.
