Contextkeeper MCP Server

ContextKeeper revolutionizes AI-assisted development by solving the fundamental problem of context loss between sessions. Using an LSM-tree inspired architecture, it maintains a complete, searchable history of your project's. Exposed over MCP by the contextkeeper mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.

Its toolset

Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:

• snapshot — Create comprehensive context snapshots
• search_evolution — Natural language search through project history
• track_component — Follow feature evolution over time
• compare_snapshots — Diff any two snapshots
• get_status — System status with compaction insights
• get_timeline — Chronological project evolution view
• Installation — The Installation tool exposed by this server
• Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this server
• Testing — The project includes a comprehensive test suite with 98 tests covering: - Core functionality (snapshots, search, evolution tracking) - Compaction
• Future — The Future tool exposed by this server

Adding it to your client

Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client.

Configuration

• .NET 9.0 SDK - Visual Studio 2022 or VS Code with C# extension

When to reach for it

Among the file and storage access options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Contextkeeper MCP's toolset — snapshot, search_evolution, track_component and 7 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by chasecuppdev; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

Caveats

• It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
• With 10 tools registered it takes up a noticeable share of the context window; turn it off in projects that never touch Contextkeeper MCP.
• MCP clients confirm each tool call by default. Leave that on until you have watched what the contextkeeper mcp mcp server does with a few real requests.
