MCP Servers for persistent context across work sessions using knowledge graphs for efficiency

Catalog onlyCatalog onlySTDIO

Overview

MCP Context Manager is a framework that enhances AI models with a project management system, providing persistent context across work sessions throughout the project lifecycle.

You can use the MCP Context Manager by running it via npx or installing it globally. It allows you to manage multiple domain-specific servers for various contexts.

  • Persistent Context: Build, load, and delete context as you progress through your project. - Efficient Access: AI models can access the exact context they need when required. - Session Management: Tools to start and end sessions, analyzing past work and updating knowledge graphs. - Cross-Domain Support: Manage multiple knowledge domains through a unified interface.
  1. Managing software development projects with context on tasks and components.
  2. Overseeing educational projects with context on courses and assignments.
  3. Conducting qualitative and quantitative research with relevant context.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect MCP Context Manager in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextmanager-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-contextmanager-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextmanager-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-contextmanager-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextmanager-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-contextmanager-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "contextmanager-tejpalvirk": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-contextmanager-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextmanager-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-contextmanager-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextmanager-tejpalvirk": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-contextmanager-tejpalvirk"
      ]
    }
  }
}
