Local-first project memory for AI coding tools over MCP.
Context Sync gives an agent a persistent memory layer for a codebase:
- project identity and tech stack
- active work, decisions, constraints, and caveats
- structured file exploration
- git-aware context
- optional read-only Notion lookup

Context Sync is built for session continuity. Instead of relying on a model to remember earlier conversations, it stores the project context that matters and makes it retrievable through a small MCP tool surface.
The current core tools are:
set_projectrememberrecallread_filesearchstructuregitnotion
Install globally:
npm install -g @context-sync/serverAuto-configuration runs during global install. After install, restart your AI tool.
If you install locally instead of globally, auto-config does not run. Use the manual config guide in
Check that context-sync appears in your MCP tool list:
- Claude Desktop: open the tools list
- Cursor: open the tools list
- VS Code / Copilot Chat Agent mode: check tools
- Continue.dev: open the Continue panel
- Codex CLI:
codex mcp list - Claude Code:
claude mcp list
If auto-config fails, use
Run the setup wizard if you want Notion integration:
context-sync-setupor:
npx context-sync-setupNotion support is intentionally read-only at the tool surface:
notion({ action: "search", query: "..." })notion({ action: "read", pageId: "..." })
