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
- Run one checkpoint:
tr_checkpointwith your current goal. - Run
tr_resumewith the same project key. - Confirm the latest checkpoint appears in the returned context pack.
Keep x-tr-project stable across restarts to avoid continuity drift.
