Details
From the project READMEContext Continuation MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides intelligent context management for AI development sessions. Never lose context when hitting token limits again!
Features
- Automatic Context Tracking: Monitor token usage and conversation flow
- Intelligent Session Breaks: Get notified before hitting context limits
- Seamless Restoration: Generate context restoration prompts for new sessions
- Project Management: Track milestones, decisions, and progress across sessions
- File-Based Storage: Human-readable markdown files that work with git
Quick Start
Installation
npm install -g context-continue-mcp
Usage with Claude Desktop
- Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"context-continue": {
"command": "context-mcp",
"args": ["--project", "/path/to/your/project"]
}
}
}
-
Restart Claude Desktop
-
Start using context tools in your conversations:
context_start_session- Begin tracking a new sessioncontext_track_message- Track important messagescontext_get_status- Check token usagecontext_restore_session- Generate restoration prompt
Tools Available
Session Management
context_start_session- Start tracking a new context sessioncontext_end_session- End current session with summarycontext_get_status- Get current session and token usage info
Context Tracking
context_track_message- Add message to session trackingcontext_track_progress- Update project progresscontext_add_milestone- Add project milestone
Restoration
context_restore_session- Generate context restoration promptcontext_get_project_summary- Get full project overview
How It Works
- Start a Session: Initialize context tracking for your project
- Track Progress: Important messages and decisions are automatically logged
- Monitor Usage: Get warnings when approaching token limits
- Seamless Continuation: Generate restoration prompts for new sessions

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
