What it does

Cortex is a local Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI coding assistants memory beyond the context window. Instead of storing chat history, Cortex indexes committed code, documentation, and ADRs into vector embeddings. This lets AI retrieve approved project knowledge by meaning, not keywords, helping avoid duplicate implementations and repeated explanations. Runs locally, uses Postgres and Ollama for embeddings, and integrates with Claude CLI via MCP.

Cortex: Open-Source AI Memory for your Codebase. Works with Claude CLI and others. It indexes your codebase into vector embeddings, enabling semantic search to find existing implementations and prevent code duplication. - Remskill/Cortex

    Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
