About Opencontext

Opencontext is an MCP server published by 0xranx in the Developer Tools category: a Model Context Protocol server for persistent project-specific AI agent context. It has been installed 0 times through Conduid.

Install

Install
npx opencontext
Claude Code
claude mcp add opencontext -- npx -y opencontext-mcp
npx
npx -y opencontext-mcp

This server has no ConduID identity, so agent calls to it are not receipted. Pin the version you install and review the source before granting it credentials.

README

The Problem

When you use an AI assistant to build things, context gets lost (across days, repos, chats). You end up re-explaining background, repeating decisions, and sometimes the assistant continues with the wrong assumptions. Most tools stop at storage and don't plug into the coding agent you already use.

The Solution

OpenContext is a lightweight personal context / knowledge store for AI assistants (Agents) and coding tools like Cursor / Claude Code / Codex. It reuses your existing coding agent CLI (Codex/Claude/OpenCode) while adding a GUI plus built-in Skills/tools, so your agent can "load history first, then act; ship, then persist".

Skills-first support: oc init generates user-level skills (Cursor/Claude Code/Codex) plus slash commands (Cursor/Claude Code), so agents can load, search, create, and iterate your context with one command.

Before OpenContext After OpenContext
📂 Hard to share context across repos/sessions ✅ Global context library works across all projects
🤷 Your ideas can't be quickly perceived by Agent ✅ Agent loads your background & decisions automatically
🔒 Existing knowledge can't be operated by Coding Agent ✅ Agent can directly read/write your knowledge base

What's Included

  • oc CLI — manage a global contexts/ library (folders/docs, manifests, search)
  • MCP Server — so Cursor/Claude Code/Codex/Agents can call OpenContext as tools
  • Skills + Slash Commands — user-level skills for Cursor/Claude Code/Codex and slash commands for Cursor/Claude Code (generated by oc init)
  • Agent-ready Knowledge Layer — reuse your existing coding agent CLI (Codex/Claude/OpenCode) with built-in skills/tools and GUI
  • Desktop App — manage/search/edit contexts with a native UI
  • Web UI — browse/edit contexts locally (no install required)

Why OpenContext for Builders

OpenContext's knowledge management Agent can be the coding agent you already use (Codex/Claude/OpenCode). You don't pay for a separate agent — you bring your own CLI and get a ready-to-use experience: a GUI for context management plus built-in Skills and tools that let the agent read, search, create, and iterate on your knowledge.

Quick Start

Install CLI

npm install -g @aicontextlab/cli

Choose Your Path

Path Best For Get Started
🖥️ Desktop App Visual users who want a native UI Download from Releases
⌨️ CLI + Tools Developers using Cursor/Claude Code/Codex/AI agents npm install -g @aicontextlab/cli && oc init
🔧 CLI Only Power users, automation npm install -g @aicontextlab/cli

OpenContext works with the coding agent CLI you already have — it adds a GUI plus built-in Skills/tools instead of replacing your agent.

30-Second Setup (CLI + Cursor/Claude Code/Codex)

# 1. Install
npm install -g @aicontextlab/cli

# 2. Initialize (prompts for tool setup; defaults to all)
cd your-project
oc init

# 3. Use slash commands (Cursor + Claude Code)
#    /opencontext-context  — load background before working
#    /opencontext-search   — find relevant docs
#    /opencontext-create   — create a new doc
#    /opencontext-iterate  — persist what you learned
#    Tip: non-interactive installs can use --tools cursor,claude,codex or --no-claude/--no-cursor/--no-codex
#
#    Installed by oc init:
#    - Cursor: ~/.cursor/commands
#    - Claude Code: ~/.claude/commands (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/commands)
#    Skills (wrapped from slash commands):
#    - Cursor: ~/.cursor/skills/opencontext-*/SKILL.md
#    - Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/opencontext-*/SKILL.md (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/skills)
#    - Codex: ~/.codex/skills/opencontext-*/SKILL.md (or $CODEX_HOME/skills)
#
# 4. MCP config is user-level (Cursor/Claude Code/Codex)
#    - Cursor: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
#    - Claude Code: ~/.claude/mcp.json (or $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR/mcp.json)
#    - Codex: ~/.codex/mcp.json (or $CODEX_HOME/mcp.json)

Questions

About Opencontext

How do I install Opencontext?

Run npx opencontext, then add the server to your MCP client's configuration. Conduid has recorded 0 installs, so the command is known to work with current clients.

Is Opencontext safe to use with an AI agent?

Its trust score is 77 out of 100 (good). It passes 0 of 1 static security checks; the failures are listed above. It has no ConduID identity yet, so agent calls to it are not receipted.

Is Opencontext still maintained?

The last commit was 7 months ago, with 0 open issues. That's long enough that you should check whether the maintainer is responding to issues before depending on it.
