What it does

OpenContext MCP solves session amnesia in AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Desktop, and OpenCode. By running a zero-config Model Context Protocol server, agents gain access to save_context and read_context tools that read and persist durable project decisions inside a localopencontext/ folder. Features: - 100% Local & Transparent: Plain Markdown files stored right in your project root. - Zero Infrastructure: No databases, background daemons, or cloud accounts.

Persistent, zero-cloud Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Cursor, OpenCode, and Claude. Track project context in plain markdown with ADR-style frontmatter directly inside Git.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives Cursor, OpenCode, and Claude persistent, project-local memory. Track architecture decisions in plain markdown with ADR-style frontmatter directly inside Git—no cloud, no vector hallucinations. AI agents are powerful — but only if they remember what matters. Agents lose all memory of prior decisions, conventions, and architecture between sessions. Without persistent rules, agents re-implement patterns that conflict with your codebase. "Should I use Zod or Yup?" — the same question, every session, no memory of past answers. Plain markdown files that persist across every session. Agents read before acting. Open any .opencontext/ file in your…from opencntx.dev

    Cursor IDE now remembers your coding prefs using MCP2025 · ▲109

    Hi, I'm Daniel from Zep. I've integrated the Cursor IDE with Graphiti, our open-source temporal knowledge graph framework, to provide Cursor with persistent memory across sessions. The goal was simple: help Cursor remember your coding preferences, standards, and project specs, so you don't have to constantly remind it. Before this integration, Cursor (an AI-assisted IDE many of us already use daily) lacked a robust way to persist user context. To solve this, I used Graphiti’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows structured data exchange between the IDE and Graphiti's temporal…

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. 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…

  • Hello HN! 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…
