What it does

Mercury Cortex is an open-source, local-first MCP server that gives AI coding assistants persistent knowledge across your projects. It helps AI search existing code, patterns, and project context so you can reuse what you’ve already built instead of starting from scratch.

AI-powered developer knowledge engine with MCP, CLI, semantic code search, and contextual code understanding. - mercury-ai-1/mercury-cortex

Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
