🧠 Knowledge & Memory
SummaryLocal-first MCP server that snapshots your project's working state — files, git, plan, and decisions — into one structured context object and hands it to any MCP client in a single call. Save a session in one agent, continue it in another. Zero network calls by default; read-only over your project. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client. npx -y ctxfileReversibly compress a large tool output to a recoverable 8-hex handle over stdio, expand it on demand, and report a local token/dollar savings ledger.
