MCP Context Manager


Version 7.5.0 - Simple AI Context for Better Code Generation

Give your AI coding assistants persistent memory of your project. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and more.

What It Does

MCP Context Manager solves the "context amnesia" problem of AI coding assistants by creating persistent context files that automatically load in every session.

Before: AI forgets your project structure, patterns, and conventions between chats
After: AI always knows your tech stack, coding standards, and project specifics

Quick Start

``bash


Install globally

npm install -g mcp-context-manager

Or use directly with npx

npx mcp-context-manager setup_context .
`

How It Works

$3

- AI-CONTEXT.md: Project overview, tech stack, guidelines
- AI-PATTERNS.md: Code examples and patterns to follow

$3

- Cursor: Creates .cursorrules with full context
- Claude Code: Creates CLAUDE.md with references to context files
- GitHub Copilot: Creates .github/copilot-instructions.md
- Continue: Creates .continue/context.md

$3

- Git hooks remind you when context is outdated
- Simple update command refreshes everything
- File watchers keep all tools in sync

Available Tools (4 Total)

$3

Creates AI context files with smart defaults for your project.

`bash


In Claude Code or via MCP

Use setup_context for the current directory

Via CLI

npx mcp-context-manager setup_context .
`

Features:
- Auto-detects framework, language, and patterns
- Creates AI-CONTEXT.md and AI-PATTERNS.md
- Generates practical templates with real examples

$3

Provides a comprehensive checklist for AI agents to analyze your codebase and update context files.

`bash


Update everything with checklist

Use update_context for the current directory

Update specific sections

Use update_context with sections: ["tech-stack", "patterns"]
`

Features:
- Generates detailed checklists for AI agents to complete
- Auto-detection mode analyzes entire codebase systematically
- Section-specific updates for targeted changes
- Validation steps ensure accuracy and completeness

$3

Enables automatic context loading in AI tools.

`bash


Auto-detect and setup all tools

Use persist_context for the current directory

Setup specific tools

Use persist_context with tools: ["cursor", "claude-code", "copilot"]
`

Features:
- Creates tool-specific config files
- For Claude Code: Creates CLAUDE.md with references to context files
- Sets up file watching for sync
- Installs git hooks for freshness checks

$3

Converts Figma designs to production-ready code.

`bash


Quick mode (recommended)

Use figma_to_code with mode: "quick"

Detailed mode for comprehensive guide

Use figma_to_code with mode: "detailed"
`

Features:
- Essential Figma MCP integration instructions
- Framework-specific code generation
- Accessibility and responsive design guidelines
- 95%+ visual fidelity methodology

Installation for Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

`json
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-context-manager": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["mcp-context-manager"]
}
}
}
`

Common Workflows

$3


`bash

1. Create context files

npx mcp-context-manager setup_context .

2. Review and customize the generated files

3. Enable auto-loading

npx mcp-context-manager persist_context .
`

$3

`bash

Update context

npx mcp-context-manager update_context .

Git will remind you automatically

git commit -m "Add new feature"

⚠️ AI Context files are over 7 days old!

`

$3

`bash

Get quick instructions

npx mcp-context-manager figma_to_code --mode quick

Get detailed guide

npx mcp-context-manager figma_to_code --mode detailed
`

What Gets Created

`
your-project/
├── AI-CONTEXT.md # Main context file
├── AI-PATTERNS.md # Code patterns and examples
├── CLAUDE.md # References to context files (by persist_context)
├── .cursorrules # Cursor config (if enabled)
├── .github/

Benefits

✅ Consistent AI Responses: Every session starts with full context
✅ No More Repetition: Stop explaining your project repeatedly
✅ Better Code Suggestions: AI follows your patterns and conventions
✅ Team Alignment: Everyone's AI uses the same context
✅ Time Saving: No context switching or explanation overhead

FAQ

Q: How is this different from just using a README?
A: It automatically loads in AI tools, maintains consistency across different assistants, and provides structured templates optimized for AI understanding.

Q: Does it work with all AI tools?
A: Yes! It has specific integrations for Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Continue, but the context files can be read by any AI assistant.

Q: How often should I update context?
A: Update when you add major features, change architecture, or modify coding standards. Git hooks will remind you if context gets stale.

Q: Is my code sent anywhere?
A: No. Everything stays local. This tool only creates and manages markdown files in your project.

Example Usage in Claude Code

Once installed, you can use natural language:

`
"Set up AI context for this project"
"Update the context files with recent changes"
"Make context persist across all my AI tools"
"Help me convert this Figma design to React code"
``

Requirements

- Node.js 16+
- Git (for hooks feature)
- An AI coding assistant
