# Recover Context

`POST /api/v1/admin/contexts/recover`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://memory.kagura-ai.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://memory.kagura-ai.com/api/v1/admin/contexts/recover`
- Auth: none declared

Recover a deleted context from surviving Qdrant data.

Issue #86: Admin endpoint to reconstruct context and memory records
from Qdrant point payloads when a context has been accidentally deleted.

#1798: deleting a context now removes its points, and the orphan sweep
removes points left by earlier deletions, so this finds nothing for a
context deleted on v0.88.0 or later. Its soft-deleted rows stay in
Postgres until the tombstone purge; ``POST /contexts/{context_id}/restore``
(#1804) brings it back from them.

Default is dry_run=True — shows what would be recovered without making changes.
