Codebase memory for AI agents: an AST index plus agent-written notes that self-stale.
Most knowledge and memory work still happens through a UI a human drives. Coldstart MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Codebase memory for AI agents: an AST index plus agent-written notes that self-stale.
Self-maintaining codebase knowledge for AI coding agents.
The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:
Upgrading — A version stamp in the keeper's lockfile makes the old background keeper shut down on the next lookup; a fresh one spawns from the new binary. No@cstart/coldstart on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Coldstart's toolset — Upgrading — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by AkashGoenka; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
