This server keeps your AI coding context alive between sessions so you don't spend half your time re-explaining decisions. It exposes tools to save current task state, resume work with a briefing, query past decisions with citations, and log blockers or assumptions. Memory lives in `.mindswap/` as markdown and JSON, indexed in SQLite for semantic search. You can scope it per-repo or globally in your home directory. Includes `mindswap init`, `save`, `resume`, `ask`, and `memory` commands, plus MCP endpoints via stdio or HTTP. Reach for it when you're hopping between Cursor, Claude, and Windsurf on the same project and tired of copy-pasting the same context doc every morning.
Keep project context and personal AI memory local so tools can continue work without re-explaining the same context.
AI sessions reset too often. mindswap saves the current task, decisions, blockers, and handoff context so the next tool can pick up cleanly.
npm install mindswap --save-dev

<repo>/.mindswap/~/.mindswap/Use global memory when a preference or learning should follow you across projects and tools.
npx mindswap log "Prefer concise explanations" --type assumption --global
npx mindswap memory list --scope all
npx mindswap ask "What explanation style should we use?" --scope all
npx mindswap reindex --scope all
mindswap generates context for tools like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Codex, Windsurf, Cline, Roo, Aider, Amp, Gemini CLI, and AGENTS.md-based workflows.

The main repo data lives in .mindswap/:

If mindswap helps your workflow, star the repo and keep improving the handoff loop.
