pls find me the last conversation where we deployed to staging, use `recall search --help`

No MCP required. The recall search CLI fulfills the same purpose. See Ask it to Search for You.
Customize
recall's resume commands can be configured with environment variables.
For example, to resume conversations in YOLO mode, add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc:
export RECALL_CLAUDE_CMD="claude --dangerously-skip-permissions --resume {id}"
export RECALL_CODEX_CMD="codex --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox resume {id}"
