context-sync

Overview

Context Sync is a MCP server that provides a persistent memory layer for AI coding tools. It stores project context including identity, tech stack, active work, decisions, and constraints to maintain session continuity. The server exposes tools like set_project, recall, read_file, search, and git to help AI systems maintain context between conversations.

• set_project

  Sets the project path for Context Sync to work with

  Try:Set the project to /home/user/my-projectTry:Configure this workspace for context sync
• remember

  Stores information about decisions, constraints, or caveats in the project memory

  Try:Remember that we decided to use SQLite for local storageTry:Note this constraint: we can't use external APIs
• recall

  Retrieves previously stored context and memories for the current project

  Try:Recall any previous decisions or constraintsTry:What do we know about this project?
• read_file

  Reads the content of a specific file in the project

  Try:Read src/index.tsTry:Show me the contents of package.json
• search

  Searches through files in the project for specific patterns or content

  Try:Search for all TODO commentsTry:Find references to the authentication function
• structure

  Explores and analyzes the project structure at a specified depth

  Try:Show me the project structure with depth 2Try:Map out the directory tree
• git

  Provides git-related analysis and context for the project

  Try:Show git statusTry:Analyze git hotspots in the codebaseTry:Check coupling between branches
• notion

  Performs read-only searches and reads from Notion (if configured)

  Try:Search Notion for project requirementsTry:Read the design spec from Notion page xyz

FAQ

How does Context Sync maintain session continuity?

It stores project context that matters (decisions, constraints, work progress) and makes it retrievable through MCP tools like 'recall' and 'remember'.

What AI tools support Context Sync?

Context Sync supports Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code with GitHub Copilot, Continue.dev, Zed, Windsurf, Codeium, TabNine, Codex CLI, Claude Code, and Antigravity.

Is Notion integration read-only?

Yes, Notion support is intentionally read-only at the tool surface with tools like 'notion({ action: "search", query: "..." })' and 'notion({ action: "read", pageId: "..." })'.
