Hack the North 2025 prototype, team of three. I built the backend that saves AI coding conversations as structured records.

The team's dashboard during Hack the North (September 2025): saved conversations tagged by type of change, and the summary generated for the selected one.
The problem
Conversations with AI coding assistants contain decisions and code changes that are hard to find again once the chat is closed.
My part: the backend
- A Python Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that Claude Desktop can call to save the current conversation as a Pydantic-typed record in local JSON storage.
- An analysis step that sends the conversation to GPT-4 with a fixed JSON format to fill in: the type of change (one of six), a title, a summary, and the code before and after the change. If that call fails, a default record is saved instead, so the conversation itself is never lost.
- A Flask JSON API that the team’s dashboard reads from. It tags each record with the kind of code change (functions, classes, API or database code) using pattern matching.
