AgentCortex MCP
An AI memory system that creates isolated, persistent memory banks for each codebase, solving the context-switching problem by keeping project knowledge separate and accessible across sessions.
README
AgentCortex MCP Client
🎯 The only AI memory system that solves the context-switching problem
Never lose context when jumping between projects. AgentCortex creates isolated, persistent memory banks for each codebase, so your AI assistant remembers everything—exactly where it belongs.
🔥 Why AgentCortex Changes Everything
The Problem: AI assistants forget everything between conversations. Worse, when you work on multiple projects, context bleeds between codebases—your React patterns from Project A contaminate your Vue.js work on Project B.
The Solution: Project-isolated persistent memory. Each project gets its own intelligent memory bank that grows smarter over time, never interfering with your other work.
✨ Core Features
🎯 Project Context Separation (The Game Changer)
- Isolated memory banks per project/codebase
- Zero context bleeding between different repos
- Automatic project detection and context switching
- Clean slate for each new project, full memory for existing ones
🧠 Persistent Cross-Session Memory
- Never lose context again across all conversations
- Cumulative learning that builds on every interaction
- Semantic search finds relevant memories instantly
- Intelligent importance ranking and auto-cleanup
📋 AI-Powered Task Management
- Break down complex PRDs into actionable tasks
- Smart task suggestions based on project context
- Progress tracking with dependency management
- Context-aware subtask generation
⚡ Enterprise Performance
- Sub-200ms response times with optimized queries
- Vector search with 1536-dimensional embeddings
- 99.9% uptime SLA with enterprise security
- Scales infinitely with your growing codebase

💡 Real-World Usage Examples
Project Context Isolation in Action
# Working on your React e-commerce app
Human: We're using React 18 with TypeScript and Zustand for state management
AI: ✅ Stored in TaskMem → Project: "ecommerce-frontend"
# Switch to your Python API project
Human: Switch to my Python API project
AI: 🔄 Switched to "payment-api" project context
# Now working in Python context - React knowledge doesn't interfere
Human: What framework should I use for the API?
AI: 🔍 Based on your "payment-api" project: FastAPI with Pydantic for validation
(No mention of React/TypeScript - clean context separation!)
# Back to React project later
Human: Switch back to ecommerce frontend
AI: 🔄 Switched to "ecommerce-frontend"
💭 Remembers: React 18, TypeScript, Zustand state management
Semantic Memory That Actually Works
Human: What did we decide about error handling?
AI: 🔍 Found 3 relevant memories:
1. [94% match] "Use React Error Boundaries for component failures"
2. [89% match] "Log errors to Sentry in production"
3. [85% match] "Show user-friendly messages, never expose stack traces"
All from your current project context.
Intelligent Task Breakdown
Human: Break down the user authentication system implementation
AI: 📋 Task broken down into 6 subtasks:
✅ Research authentication patterns for React 18
🔄 Set up Supabase Auth integration
⏳ Implement login/signup forms
⏳ Add protected route middleware
⏳ Create user profile management
⏳ Add session persistence logic
Estimated: 2-3 days based on your project complexity

🎯 Advanced Usage Patterns
Team Workflows
# Share project context with team members
Human: Export this project's memory for onboarding
AI: 📦 Generated onboarding package for "ecommerce-frontend"
→ Includes: Architecture decisions, coding standards, setup guides
→ Share with: new team members for instant context
# Import team knowledge
Human: Import the backend team's API documentation memories
AI: ✅ Imported 47 memories from "payment-api" project
→ Now available when working on frontend integrations
Cross-Project Insights
# Learn from patterns across projects
Human: What authentication patterns have I used before?
AI: 🔍 Across your projects:
- ecommerce-frontend: Supabase Auth + React Context
- admin-dashboard: Auth0 + JWT tokens
- mobile-app: Firebase Auth + AsyncStorage
Recommendation: Supabase for consistency with your React patterns
