Context Sync

Local-first memory layer for AI development tools via MCP.

Install and auto-config (60 seconds)

• Install globally:

npm install -g @context-sync/server

• Auto-config runs on install. Restart your AI tool.

• Verify tools:

• Claude Desktop: Tools list
• Cursor: Tools list
• VS Code/Copilot: Copilot Chat -> Agent mode -> Tools
• Continue.dev: open Continue panel
• Codex CLI: codex mcp list
• Claude Code: claude mcp list

If auto-config fails, see docs/TROUBLESHOOTING.md and docs/CONFIG.md. If you installed locally (non-global), auto-config does not run.

Optional: Notion setup

context-sync-setup
# or
npx context-sync-setup

Supported platforms

• Claude Desktop
• Cursor
• VS Code + GitHub Copilot
• Continue.dev
• Zed
• Windsurf
• Codeium
• TabNine
• Codex CLI
• Claude Code
• Antigravity (Google Gemini IDE)

First-time workflow

2) recall()
3) read_file({ path: "src/index.ts" })
