Built an open-source, cross-platform context management system for AI agents — tired of re-explaining myself every session
Every time I spun up a new agent session, I was back to square one — re-explaining domain rules, user context, system knowledge. It didn't matter how smart the model was. Stateless by default.
So I built ContextBook — an MCP server that lets you organise knowledge into structured Books and Pages, and lets agents pull exactly the context they need, on demand.
What makes it different from memory systems:
- Memory is pre-loaded, and ambient — agents get everything whether they need it or not
- ContextBook is surgical — agents fetch only what's relevant, right when they need it
Tech stack:
- Go monorepo, dual binaries (API + MCP server)
- Voyage AI
voyage-4embeddings + pgvector HNSW for semantic search - OAuth 2.0 PKCE, React 19 + Vite dashboard
- Deployed on Railway
Platform-agnostic — works with Claude, GPT, Gemini, or any MCP-compatible agent. One instance, any platform.
8 MCP tools out of the box. Open-source. Deploys in minutes.
