Context Server MCP Server

A high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing persistent multimodal context storage for LLM agents. Built with FastMCP, this server enables seamless context sharing across multiple agents working on the same task through thread-based scoping. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

01 · Install Context Server

Claude Code

claude mcp add alex-feel-mcp-context-server -- uvx mcp-context-server

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alex-feel-mcp-context-server": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-context-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions · container (OCI image) - can be sandboxed away from your filesystem

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

pypi package mcp-context-server - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)

registry namespace io.github.alex-feel is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

03 · What Context Server can do

Prose above is summarized from the project's README and registry record - no invented capabilities.

Limitations (from the README)

[!WARNING] Upgrading from v2.x? Version 3.x.x uses a new database schema with UUIDv7 primary keys. Existing v2.x databases require a one-time data migration before they can be used with v3.x.x. The opt-in CLI mcp-context-server-migrate ships with the server. See the Migration Guide before upgrading. Fresh installations are unaffected.
