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.

💡 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
