Context Sync
A local-first memory layer that persists project context across AI coding sessions. Installs globally via npm and auto-configures for Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Continue, Zed, Windsurf, and others. Exposes eight core tools: set_project to anchor a codebase, remember and recall for decisions and constraints, read_file and search for exploration, structure for directory traversal, git for repository analysis including hotspots and coupling, and optional read-only Notion lookup. Stores everything in a local SQLite database and can install git hooks to capture context automatically on commit, merge, and checkout. Reach for this when you need session continuity without relying on model memory alone.

Readme
Context Sync
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
What It Does
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
Install globally:
npm install -g @context-sync/server
Auto-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 docs/CONFIG.md.
