How to use Dámelo

A complete guide to sharing AI coding sessions with your team. Export what you build, import what others discover, and never lose context again.

What is Dámelo?

Dámelo is an MCP server that integrates with Claude Code to let you export, import, and browse AI coding sessions across your team. When you're done with a session — whether you fixed a gnarly bug, built a new feature, or figured out a tricky deployment — you can save it and share it with your team in one command.

No more lost context. No more repeating yourself. Your team's AI-assisted work becomes a shared knowledge base.

Step 1 — Install

Run this in your terminal: 

npx damelo

That's it. This registers the Dámelo MCP server in your Claude Code settings. It takes about 10 seconds and requires no additional configuration.

You can verify it's installed by asking Claude: 

what MCP servers do I have?
You have the following MCP servers configured:
  - damelo (share sessions)
  - ...

Step 2 — Export your first session

After you've done some work with Claude Code, just ask it to export:

A Natural language

Just tell Claude what you want. No special syntax needed: 

export this session to damelo
● share – export_session (MCP)
✓ Exported: https://damelo.sh/reports/you/abc123

B Slash command — /tomalo

If you want to keep working while the export happens in the background: 

/tomalo
● session-exporter (Export session to Dámelo)
  Backgrounded agent (↓ to manage)
● Exporting in the background...
● Agent "Export session to Dámelo" completed

You don't need to wait — Claude keeps responding to you while the export runs in a background agent.

Step 3 — Browse team sessions

See what your teammates have been working on: 

show me team sessions
● share – list_team_sessions (MCP)

Recent sessions from your team:

1. "Fix auth middleware for SSO" — carlos, 2h ago
2. "Add rate limiting to API" — maria, yesterday
3. "Debug memory leak in worker" — pedro, 2 days ago

You can also search by repository: 

show me sessions for the backend repo

Step 4 — Import a session

Found a session that's relevant to your current work? Import it so Claude has the full context: 

import carlos's auth middleware session
● share – import_session (MCP)
✓ Session imported. Claude now has context from that session.

This is powerful for onboarding, code reviews, or picking up where a teammate left off. Instead of reading through PRs and Slack threads, you get the full AI-assisted context of how the work was done.

Use cases

Onboarding

New team member? Share your best sessions so they can see how the codebase works, what decisions were made, and why.

Code reviews

Instead of just reviewing the diff, review the session. See the full thought process, the bugs that were caught, the alternatives that were considered.

Incident response

When someone debugs a production issue with Claude, export the session. Next time a similar issue happens, the team already has a playbook.

Knowledge sharing

Weekly team sync? Share the most interesting sessions from the week. Everyone levels up without extra meetings.

Async collaboration

Working across time zones? Export your session at the end of your day, your teammate imports it at the start of theirs. No context lost in the handoff.

Team setup

Dámelo works with teams out of the box. Once your team is set up:

  1. Every exported session can be shared with your team
  2. Team members can browse and import each other's sessions
  3. Sessions are organized by repository and author

Create a team or manage invitations directly through Claude: 

create a team called "backend-crew"
invite maria@company.com to backend-crew
show my team invitations
