Threadctx MCP Overview

threadctx-mcp provides a shared team memory for AI coding agents by persisting decisions, fixes, and gotchas per git repository. It supports local storage as a JSON file by default and offers a cloud mode for paid team-wide semantic search. It integrates automatically with multiple MCP clients by injecting memory query and write instructions into project rule files and MCP initialization instructions. Use it to enable AI agents to share learned knowledge consistently across teammates and tools without manual integration.
