📦 Universal Context MCP

The God-Tier Context Preservation Engine for AI Agents

Zero knowledge loss when transitioning between sessions, environments, or agents.

🎯 The Problem

You start a new session with an AI agent (Claude, Gemini, etc.). It spends the first 20 minutes reading files, guessing your architecture, and asking questions you already answered yesterday.

⚡ The Solution

Universal Context MCP creates a lossless context bridge. It bundles your project state, uncommitted changes, and architectural intent into a high-density package that "re-animates" any new agent instantly.

✨ Features

• 🏎️ Zero-Touch Setup: One command auto-configures your global Claude/CLI environment.
• 🧠 Auto-Bootstrapping: Agents automatically load the previous session's exact focus and blockers.
• 🕰️ Session Time Machine: A local .session_checkpoints.jsonl ledger tracks the evolution of your project decisions.
• ⚖️ Precision Token Budgeting: Calculates exact context pressure to prevent agent degradation.
• ☁️ Cloud Sync: Securely upload context to private GitHub Gists for global cross-machine portability.

📦 Installation

# 1. Install the engine globally
npm install -g universal-context-mcp

# 2. Auto-configure your CLI/Agent environment
context-save --setup

(The setup command automatically injects the MCP server into your global .claude.json or equivalent).

🛠 Usage

1. Manual Export (The "Save State")

Run this in any project root to grab a high-density snapshot and copy it directly to your clipboard:

context-save "Brief description of current focus or blockers"

2. Cloud Export (Cross-Machine)

Moving from your desktop to your laptop? Use a secure GitHub Gist:

context-save "Moving to home laptop" --cloud

3. Agentic Handoff (The "Auto-Bootstrap")

Add this Ironclad Mandate to your project's CLAUDE.md or GEMINI.md:

## Core Mandates
- **Auto-Bootstrap:** At the start of EVERY new session, you MUST immediately call `bootstrap_session_context` to load the previous architectural intent and focus.

When a new agent boots up, it will read this rule, call the MCP tool, and instantly resume your work exactly where you left off.

4. The Autopilot Hook (Zero-Effort Background Sync)

Never forget to save context again. Run this once per project to install a Git hook that silently updates your context in the background every time you commit:

context-save --install-hook

5. Debug Mode

If you need to trace execution speed, path resolution, or token count math, use the debug flag:

context-save --debug

🏗 How It Works Under The Hood

When invoked, the exporter intelligently bundles:

1. Environment: OS and Path.
2. Shadow Context: The manual intent or handoff note.
3. Active Changes: A lightweight git diff --stat.
4. Structure: A depth-limited, noise-filtered directory tree.
5. History: The last 5 git log entries.
6. Core Files: Automatic injection of README.md, CLAUDE.md, package.json, etc.
