Context Sync
Keep project memory and session context aligned when you switch between Claude, VS Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, and Zed.
Overview
Context Sync is an Operate-phase MCP server that syncs shared AI memory and context across Claude, VS Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, Zed, and other MCP clients.
What is this MCP server?
- Syncs AI memory context across multiple editors and agent hosts
- Targets Claude, VS Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, and Zed
- Stdio MCP server published as @context-sync/server (v1.0.1)
- Reduces repeated briefing when you change machines or tools mid-sprint
- npm-packaged universal memory layer rather than a single-IDE plugin
- Server version 1.0.1 on npm as @context-sync/server
- Documented support narrative for Claude, VS Code, Cursor, Continue, Windsurf, and Zed
- Stdio MCP transport
What problem does it solve?
Switching editors or agents forces you to re-upload context and repeat decisions because each tool keeps its own isolated memory.
Who is it for?
Solo builders who daily alternate between Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or VS Code and want one MCP-backed memory bridge.
Skip if: Teams that standardize on a single IDE with no cross-tool agent workflow and already satisfy continuity with repo docs alone.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register Context Sync, agents can draw on a synchronized memory layer so iteration across IDEs feels like one continuous assistant workspace.
- Shared memory readable from multiple MCP-connected agents
- Less repeated onboarding text when switching between supported editors
- A single npm MCP package (v1.0.1) to register across clients
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Persistent cross-tool memory matters most once you are actively shipping and revisiting work across editors during Operate and iteration loops. Iterate is the right shelf for tooling that reduces context loss between sessions and IDEs so you can refine product and agent workflows without re-explaining state.
How it compares
Cross-editor MCP memory sync, not a project wiki or git-based documentation system.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Context Sync for?
Builders and indie devs who use more than one AI-enabled editor and need shared context without manually copying chats and rules.
When should I use Context Sync?
Use it during Operate and iteration when you change tools mid-task or want durable memory that survives session restarts across clients.
How do I add Context Sync to my agent?
Install @context-sync/server, add the stdio MCP server entry in each client’s MCP configuration, then use its sync tools from supported agents.
