|
-
Persistent memory, semantic search, and code intelligence for any MCP-compatible AI tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, etc.).
|
|

|
-
|
|
13
|
-
**At a glance:**
|
|
14
|
-
- Shared "brain" for decisions, preferences, notes (including implementation notes), lessons, tasks, and project context.
|
|
15
|
-
- Search + analysis across sessions with consistent context (semantic/hybrid/keyword + graph tools).
|
|
16
|
-
- v0.4.x consolidated domain tools (~11 tools) for ~75% lower tool-registry token overhead vs previous versions.

## Just Ask

|
-
**You don't need to memorize tool names.** Describe what you want and your AI will call the right ContextStream tools:
|
|
23
|
-
|
|
24
|
-
| You say… | ContextStream does… |
|
|
25
|
-
|----------|---------------------|
|
|
26
|
-
| "session summary" | Summarizes current workspace/project context |
|
|
27
|
-
| "what did we decide about auth?" | Recalls decisions related to authentication |
|
|
28
|
-
| "remember we're using PostgreSQL" | Captures that fact for future sessions |
|
|
29
|
-
| "search for payment code" | Searches your codebase semantically/hybrid/keyword |
|
|
30
|
-
| "what depends on UserService?" | Analyzes dependency graph & impact |
|
|
31
|
-
|
|
32
|
-
> **Tip:** For best results, add the **recommended editor rules** so your AI reliably calls `session_init` / `context_smart` when appropriate:

## Choose Your Mode (Token Footprint)
|
|
40
|
-
|
|
41
|
-
MCP clients often inject the tool catalog into the model context. v0.4.x is designed to keep that overhead small.
|
|
42
|
-
|
|
43
|
-
| Mode | What it exposes | Best for | Enable |
|
|
44
|
-
|------|-----------------|----------|--------|
|
|
45
|
-
| **Consolidated** (default) | ~11 domain tools with `action` / `mode` dispatch | Most users (recommended) | `CONTEXTSTREAM_CONSOLIDATED=true` |
|
|
46
|
-
| **Router** (extreme minimization) | ~2 meta-tools (`contextstream`, `contextstream_help`) | Tight context budgets / many MCP servers | `CONTEXTSTREAM_PROGRESSIVE_MODE=true` |
|
|
47
|
-
| **Legacy** (granular tools) | Older `light/standard/complete` toolsets | Back-compat / old prompts | `CONTEXTSTREAM_CONSOLIDATED=false` |
|
|
48
|
-
|
|
49
|
-
> **Note:** The env var name for Router mode is `CONTEXTSTREAM_PROGRESSIVE_MODE` (historical naming). It enables the ~2-tool "router" surface.

## Features
|
|
54
|
-
|
|
55
|
-
- **Consolidated domain tools** (v0.4.x): short tool list with action/mode dispatch
|
|
56
|
-
- Session-aware context loading (`session_init`, `context_smart`)
|
|
57
|
-
- Memory capture + recall (decisions, preferences, notes, implementation notes, lessons, tasks, bugs)
|
|
58
|
-
- Code search (semantic, hybrid, keyword, pattern)
|
|
59
|
-
- Knowledge graph + code analysis (dependencies, impact, call paths, circular deps, unused code)
|
|
60
|
-
- Graph ingestion for full graph builds (`graph(action="ingest")`)
|
|
61
|
-
- Local repo ingestion for indexing (`project(action="ingest_local")`)
|
|
62
|
-
- Auto-context: on first tool call in a new session, the server can auto-initialize context
|
|
63
|
-
|
|
64
|
-
> **⚠️ Search-First Rule:** For best results, your AI should use ContextStream `search(mode="hybrid")` **before** local tools like Glob/Grep/Read. This is enforced via editor rules and `context_smart` responses.

## Quickstart (2 minutes)
|
|
88
|
-
|
|
89
|
-
### 1) Run the Setup Wizard (recommended)
|
|
90
|
-
|
|
91
|
-
The wizard:
|
|
92
|
-
- Authenticates (browser/device login by default)
|
|
93
|
-
- Creates/stores an API key
|
|
94
|
-
- Installs recommended editor rules (optional)
|
|
95
|
-
- Writes MCP config files for supported tools
|
|
96
|
-
|
|
97
|
-
```bash
|
|
98
|
-
npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server setup
|
|
99
|
-
```
|
|
100
|
-
|
|
101
|
-
**Useful flags:**
|
|
102
|
-
|
|
103
|
-
| Flag | Description |
|
|
104
|
-
|------|-------------|
|
|
105
|
-
| `--dry-run` | Preview without writing files |
|
|
106
|
-
|
|
107
|
-
**Notes:**
|
|
108
|
-
- The wizard stores credentials at `~/.contextstream/credentials.json` for convenience. Delete it to force a fresh login.
|
|
109
|
-
- Codex CLI MCP config is global-only (`~/.codex/config.toml`), so the wizard writes Codex config globally when selected.
|
|
110
|
-
- Some tools still require UI/CLI setup (the wizard will tell you when it can't write a config).
|
|
111
|
-
|
|
112
|
-
### 2) Run the MCP Server
|
|
113
|
-
|
|
114
|
-
**Recommended** (works well with MCP configs):
|
|
115
|
-
|
|
116
|
-
```bash
|
|
117
|
-
npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
118
|
-
```
|
|
119
|
-
|
|
120
|
-
**Or install globally:**
|
|
121
|
-
|
|
122
|
-
```bash
|
|
123
|
-
npm install -g @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
124
|
-
contextstream-mcp
|
|
125
|
-
```
|
|
126
|
-
|
|
127
|
-
### 3) Keeping Updated
|
|
128
|
-
|
|
129
|
-
**If you use `npx`:** Restart your AI tool/editor and run ContextStream again
|
|
130
|
-
(or pin the version: `npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server@0.4.3`)
|
|
131
|
-
|
|
132
|
-
**If you installed globally:**
|
|
133
|
-
|
|
134
|
-
```bash
|
|
135
|
-
npm update -g @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
136
|
-
```
|
|
137
|
-
|
|
138
|
-
After updating, restart your AI tool/editor so it reloads the tool catalog.
|
|

## Configure Your MCP Client (Manual)
|
|
143
|
-
|
|

|
-
> If you ran the setup wizard, you can usually skip this.

### Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Desktop (JSON)
|
|
147
|
-
|
|
148
|
-
These clients use an `mcpServers` JSON config:
|
|
149
|
-
|
|
150
|
-
| Client | Config path |
|
|
151
|
-
|--------|-------------|
|
|
152
|
-
| **Cursor** | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project) |
|
|
153
|
-
| **Windsurf** | `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` |
|
|
154
|
-
| **Claude Desktop (macOS)** | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` |
|
|
155
|
-
| **Claude Desktop (Windows)** | `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` |
|
|
156
|
-
|
|
157
|
-
**Consolidated (default):**
|
|
158
|
-
|
|
159
|
-
```json

}
|

```
|
|
173
|
-
|
|
174
|
-
**Router mode (~2 meta-tools):**
|
|
175
|
-
|
|
176
|
-
```json
|
|
177

|
192
|
-
### VS Code (`.vscode/mcp.json`)
|
|
193
|
-
|
|
194
|
-
VS Code uses a top-level `servers` map:
|
|
195
|
-
|
|
196
|
-
```json
|
|
197
|
-
{
|
|
198
|
-
"servers": {
|
|
199
|
-
"contextstream": {
|
|
200
|
-
"type": "stdio",
|
|
201
|
-
"command": "npx",
|
|
202
|
-
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
203
|
-
"env": {
|
|
204
|
-
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
205
|
-
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
206
|
-
}
|
|
207
|
-
}
|
|
208
|
-
}
|
|
209
|
-
}
|
|
210
|
-
```
|
|
211
|
-
|
|
212
|
-
**Strong recommendation:** Use `inputs` so you don't commit secrets:
|
|
213
|
-
|
|
214
|
-
```json
|
|
215
|
-
{
|
|
216
|
-
"servers": {
|
|
217
|
-
"contextstream": {
|
|
218
|
-
"type": "stdio",
|
|
219
|
-
"command": "npx",
|
|
220
|
-
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
221
|
-
"env": {
|
|
222
|
-
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
223
|
-
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "${input:contextstreamApiKey}"
|
|
224
|
-
}
|
|
225
|
-
}
|
|
226
|
-
},
|
|
227
|
-
"inputs": [
|
|
228
|
-
{
|
|
229
|
-
"id": "contextstreamApiKey",
|
|
230
|
-
"type": "promptString",
|
|
231
|
-
"description": "ContextStream API Key",
|

# ContextStream MCP Server
|
|
2
|
+
|
|

|
+
**Get set up in 30 seconds (recommended):**
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
```bash
|
|
6
|
+
npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server setup
|
|
7
|
+
```
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
This wizard authenticates you, creates/stores an API key, installs editor rules, and writes MCP config files.
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
Persistent memory, semantic search, and code intelligence for any MCP-compatible AI tool (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, etc.).
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
**At a glance:**
|
|
14
|
+
- Shared "brain" for decisions, preferences, notes (including implementation notes), lessons, tasks, and project context.
|
|
15
|
+
- Search + analysis across sessions with consistent context (semantic/hybrid/keyword + graph tools).
|
|
16
|
+
- v0.4.x consolidated domain tools (~11 tools) for ~75% lower tool-registry token overhead vs previous versions.
|

## Just Ask
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
**You don't need to memorize tool names.** Describe what you want and your AI will call the right ContextStream tools:
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
| You say… | ContextStream does… |
|
|
25
|
+
|----------|---------------------|
|
|
26
|
+
| "session summary" | Summarizes current workspace/project context |
|
|
27
|
+
| "what did we decide about auth?" | Recalls decisions related to authentication |
|
|
28
|
+
| "remember we're using PostgreSQL" | Captures that fact for future sessions |
|
|
29
|
+
| "search for payment code" | Searches your codebase semantically/hybrid/keyword |
|
|
30
|
+
| "what depends on UserService?" | Analyzes dependency graph & impact |
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
> **Tip:** For best results, add the **recommended editor rules** so your AI reliably calls `session_init` / `context_smart` when appropriate:

## Choose Your Mode (Token Footprint)
|
|
40
|
+
|
|
41
|
+
MCP clients often inject the tool catalog into the model context. v0.4.x is designed to keep that overhead small.
|
|
42
|
+
|
|
43
|
+
| Mode | What it exposes | Best for | Enable |
|
|
44
|
+
|------|-----------------|----------|--------|
|
|
45
|
+
| **Consolidated** (default) | ~11 domain tools with `action` / `mode` dispatch | Most users (recommended) | `CONTEXTSTREAM_CONSOLIDATED=true` |
|
|
46
|
+
| **Router** (extreme minimization) | ~2 meta-tools (`contextstream`, `contextstream_help`) | Tight context budgets / many MCP servers | `CONTEXTSTREAM_PROGRESSIVE_MODE=true` |
|
|
47
|
+
| **Legacy** (granular tools) | Older `light/standard/complete` toolsets | Back-compat / old prompts | `CONTEXTSTREAM_CONSOLIDATED=false` |
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
> **Note:** The env var name for Router mode is `CONTEXTSTREAM_PROGRESSIVE_MODE` (historical naming). It enables the ~2-tool "router" surface.

## Features
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
- **Consolidated domain tools** (v0.4.x): short tool list with action/mode dispatch
|
|
56
|
+
- Session-aware context loading (`session_init`, `context_smart`)
|
|
57
|
+
- Memory capture + recall (decisions, preferences, notes, implementation notes, lessons, tasks, bugs)
|
|
58
|
+
- Code search (semantic, hybrid, keyword, pattern)
|
|
59
|
+
- Knowledge graph + code analysis (dependencies, impact, call paths, circular deps, unused code)
|
|
60
|
+
- Graph ingestion for full graph builds (`graph(action="ingest")`)
|
|
61
|
+
- Local repo ingestion for indexing (`project(action="ingest_local")`)
|
|
62
|
+
- Auto-context: on first tool call in a new session, the server can auto-initialize context
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
> **⚠️ Search-First Rule:** For best results, your AI should use ContextStream `search(mode="hybrid")` **before** local tools like Glob/Grep/Read. This is enforced via editor rules and `context_smart` responses.

## Quickstart (2 minutes)
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
### 1) Run the Setup Wizard (recommended)
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
The wizard:
|
|
92
|
+
- Authenticates (browser/device login by default)
|
|
93
|
+
- Creates/stores an API key
|
|
94
|
+
- Installs recommended editor rules (optional)
|
|
95
|
+
- Writes MCP config files for supported tools
|
|
96
|
+
|
|
97
|
+
```bash
|
|
98
|
+
npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server setup
|
|
99
|
+
```
|
|
100
|
+
|
|
101
|
+
**Useful flags:**
|
|
102
|
+
|
|
103
|
+
| Flag | Description |
|
|
104
|
+
|------|-------------|
|
|
105
|
+
| `--dry-run` | Preview without writing files |
|
|
106
|
+
|
|
107
|
+
**Notes:**
|
|
108
|
+
- The wizard stores credentials at `~/.contextstream/credentials.json` for convenience. Delete it to force a fresh login.
|
|
109
|
+
- Codex CLI MCP config is global-only (`~/.codex/config.toml`), so the wizard writes Codex config globally when selected.
|
|
110
|
+
- Some tools still require UI/CLI setup (the wizard will tell you when it can't write a config).
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
### 2) Run the MCP Server
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
**Recommended** (works well with MCP configs):
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
```bash
|
|
117
|
+
npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
118
|
+
```
|
|
119
|
+
|
|
120
|
+
**Or install globally:**
|
|
121
|
+
|
|
122
|
+
```bash
|
|
123
|
+
npm install -g @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
124
|
+
contextstream-mcp
|
|
125
|
+
```
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
### 3) Keeping Updated
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
**If you use `npx`:** Restart your AI tool/editor and run ContextStream again
|
|
130
|
+
(or pin the version: `npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server@0.4.3`)
|
|
131
|
+
|
|
132
|
+
**If you installed globally:**
|
|
133
|
+
|
|
134
|
+
```bash
|
|
135
|
+
npm update -g @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
136
|
+
```
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
After updating, restart your AI tool/editor so it reloads the tool catalog.
|
|
139
|
+
|
|

|
+
## Configure Your MCP Client (Manual)
|
|
143
|
+
|
|
144
|
+
> If you ran the setup wizard, you can usually skip this.
|
|
145
|
+
|
|
146
|
+
### Cursor / Windsurf / Claude Desktop (JSON)
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
These clients use an `mcpServers` JSON config:
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
| Client | Config path |
|
|
151
|
+
|--------|-------------|
|
|
152
|
+
| **Cursor** | `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (project) |
|
|
153
|
+
| **Windsurf** | `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json` |
|
|
154
|
+
| **Claude Desktop (macOS)** | `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` |
|
|
155
|
+
| **Claude Desktop (Windows)** | `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` |
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
**Consolidated (default):**
|
|
158
|
+
|
|
159
|
+
```json
|
|
160
|
+
{
|
|
161
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
162
|
+
"contextstream": {
|
|
163
|
+
"command": "npx",
|
|
164
|
+
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
165
|
+
"env": {
|
|
166
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
167
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
168
|
+
}
|
|
169
|
+
}
|
|
170
|
+
}
|
|
171
|
+
}
|
|
172
|
+
```
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
**Router mode (~2 meta-tools):**
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
```json
|
|
177
|
+
{
|
|
178
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
179
|
+
"contextstream": {
|
|
180
|
+
"command": "npx",
|
|
181
|
+
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
182
|
+
"env": {
|
|
183
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
184
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY",
|
|
185
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_PROGRESSIVE_MODE": "true"
|
|
186
|
+
}
|
|
187
|
+
}
|
|
188
|
+
}
|
|
189
|
+
}
|
|
190
|
+
```
|
|
191
|
+
|
|
192
|
+
### VS Code (`.vscode/mcp.json`)
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
VS Code uses a top-level `servers` map:
|
|
195
|
+
|
|
196
|
+
```json
|
|
197
|
+
{
|
|
198
|
+
"servers": {
|
|
199
|
+
"contextstream": {
|
|
200
|
+
"type": "stdio",
|
|
201
|
+
"command": "npx",
|
|
202
|
+
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
203
|
+
"env": {
|
|
204
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
205
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
206
|
+
}
|
|
207
|
+
}
|
|
208
|
+
}
|
|
209
|
+
}
|
|
210
|
+
```
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
**Strong recommendation:** Use `inputs` so you don't commit secrets:
|
|
213
|
+
|
|
214
|
+
```json
|
|
215
|
+
{
|
|
216
|
+
"servers": {
|
|
217
|
+
"contextstream": {
|
|
218
|
+
"type": "stdio",
|
|
219
|
+
"command": "npx",
|
|
220
|
+
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
221
|
+
"env": {
|
|
222
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
223
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "${input:contextstreamApiKey}"
|
|
224
|
+
}
|
|
225
|
+
}
|
|
226
|
+
},
|
|
227
|
+
"inputs": [
|
|
228
|
+
{
|
|
229
|
+
"id": "contextstreamApiKey",
|
|
230
|
+
"type": "promptString",
|
|
231
|
+
"description": "ContextStream API Key",
|
|
232
|
+
"password": true
|
|
233
|
+
}
|
|
234
|
+
]
|
|

|
+
|
|
240
|
+
**User scope (all projects):**
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+
```bash
|
|
243
|
+
claude mcp add --transport stdio contextstream --scope user \
|
|
244
|
+
--env CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL=https://api.contextstream.io \
|
|
245
|
+
--env CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY \
|
|
246
|
+
-- npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
247
|
+
```
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
249
|
+
**Router mode:**
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
```bash
|
|
252
|
+
claude mcp add --transport stdio contextstream --scope user \
|
|
253
|
+
--env CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL=https://api.contextstream.io \

|
|
256
|
+
-- npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server
|
|
257
|
+
```
|
|
258
|
+
|
|
259
|
+
> **Windows caveat** (native Windows, not WSL): if `npx` isn't found, use `cmd /c npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server` after `--`.
|
|
260
|
+
|
|
261
|
+
### Codex CLI (`~/.codex/config.toml`)
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
```toml
|
|
264
|
+
[mcp_servers.contextstream]
|
|
265
|
+
command = "npx"
|
|
266
|
+
args = ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"]
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
[mcp_servers.contextstream.env]
|
|
269
|
+
CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL = "https://api.contextstream.io"
|
|
270
|
+
CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
271
|
+
```
|
|
272
|
+
|
|
273
|
+
### Antigravity (Google)
|
|
274
|
+
|
|
275
|
+
Antigravity uses project-scoped `.mcp.json` files with the same format as Cursor/Claude Desktop:
|
|
276
|
+
|
|
277
|
+
**Project configuration (`.mcp.json` in project root):**
|
|
278
|
+
|
|
279
|
+
```json
|
|
280
|
+
{
|
|
281
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
282
|
+
"contextstream": {
|
|
283
|
+
"command": "npx",
|
|
284
|
+
"args": ["-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
285
|
+
"env": {
|
|
286
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
287
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
288
|
+
}
|
|
289
|
+
}
|
|
290
|
+
}
|
|
291
|
+
}
|
|
292
|
+
```
|
|
293
|
+
|
|
294
|
+
**Windows users:** Use `cmd /c npx` wrapper:
|
|
295
|
+
|
|
296
|
+
```json
|
|
297
|
+
{
|
|
298
|
+
"mcpServers": {
|
|
299
|
+
"contextstream": {
|
|
300
|
+
"command": "cmd",
|
|
301
|
+
"args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "@contextstream/mcp-server"],
|
|
302
|
+
"env": {
|
|
303
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL": "https://api.contextstream.io",
|
|
304
|
+
"CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY": "YOUR_API_KEY"
|
|
305
|
+
}
|
|
306
|
+
}
|
|
307
|
+
}
|
|
308
|
+
}
|
|
309
|
+
```
|
|
310
|
+
|
|
311
|
+
After adding the config, access via the "..." menu → "MCP Servers" → "View raw config" to verify.
|
|
312
|
+
|
|
313
|
+
**Rules files:**
|
|
314
|
+
- Global rules: `~/.gemini/GEMINI.md`
|
|
315
|
+
- Workspace rules: `.agent/rules/contextstream.md`
|
|

## Migration Notes (pre-0.4.x → 0.4.x)
|
|
404
|
+
|
|
405
|
+
Most workflows **just work**, but tool names change in consolidated mode.
|
|
406
|
+
|
|
407
|
+
| Before (granular) | After (consolidated) |
|
|
408
|
+
|-------------------|----------------------|
|
|
409
|
+
| `search_semantic(query="auth")` | `search(mode="semantic", query="auth")` |
|
|
410
|
+
| `session_capture(...)` | `session(action="capture", ...)` |
|
|
411
|
+
| `graph_dependencies(...)` | `graph(action="dependencies", ...)` |
|
|
412
|
+
|
|
413
|
+
If you rely on granular tool names, you can temporarily set:
|
|
414
|
+
|
|
415
|
+
```bash
|
|
416
|
+
CONTEXTSTREAM_CONSOLIDATED=false
|
|
417
|
+
```
|
|
418
|
+

## Troubleshooting
|
|
422
|
+
|
|
423
|
+
| Issue | Solution |
|
|
424
|
+
|-------|----------|
|
|
425
|
+
| **Tools not appearing** | Restart the client after editing MCP config; confirm Node 18+ is available in the client runtime |
|
|
426
|
+
| **Unauthorized / 401** | Verify `CONTEXTSTREAM_API_URL` + `CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY` (or JWT) |
|
|
427
|
+
| **Wrong workspace/project** | Run `session_init` and/or associate your folder with the correct workspace |
|
|
428
|
+
| **Client warns about tool context size** | Use Router mode (`CONTEXTSTREAM_PROGRESSIVE_MODE=true`), or keep consolidated mode and reduce schema/output verbosity |
