How it works

From blank repository to shared project memory.

You bring a Git repository and the agents you already use. ContextBrain connects the knowledge between them.

  1. 1

    Create your knowledge repository.

    Make a repository on your Git provider. We recommend starting empty so ContextBrain can initialise the vault structure.

    acme/engineering-brain

    Private · empty repository

  2. 2

    Connect it to a Brain.

    Choose a name, connect the repository and validate access. Use the GitHub App or a supported SSH key or token.

  3. 3

    Authorise your agent.

    Install the ContextBrain plugin for Claude Code or Codex, or connect any MCP client, then choose the Brains and permissions the connection can use.

    Claude Code wants to use your ContextBrain brains.

    Start in
    Acme Software / Engineering
    • Limit this agent to that brain only
    • Read only
  4. 4

    Save useful context as you work.

    Keep current project context, decisions, plans and session summaries in the vault.

    • record_decision Payment retries
    • save_plan Card updates
    • save_session Retry policy agreed
  5. 5

    Continue in the next session.

    Ask your next agent to resume from the Brain. Browse the same knowledge on the web whenever you need it.

    resume checkout

    Current context, 2 recent sessions, 2 decisions

MCP, in plain English

The Model Context Protocol lets compatible AI tools call ContextBrain’s tools to read and update knowledge. You authorise the connection and control its access.

Several projects, one Brain

A Brain is the vault, not your application repository. Keep related project knowledge together, or use separate Brains for separate teams and access boundaries.

Connect a vault. Save the context worth keeping. Pick it up with your next agent.
