# ctxpipe

> ctxpipe turns your code, tickets and docs into one organised, current, inspectable repo that your whole agent fleet reads over MCP. Open source.

Your agents can reach everything and can't tell what's true. ctxpipe is context management for software factories: it turns your code, tickets, docs and incidents into one organised, current, inspectable git repo of Markdown, keeps it current in the background, and serves it to every coding agent over MCP. Open source (MIT), self-hosted or hosted.

## Key facts
- Knowledge lives in a Workspace: a git repository of Markdown you own, built from linked code repositories and connectors (GitHub, Linear, Notion, Confluence, PagerDuty, Slack).
- Background jobs keep it current: they re-read linked code on every push, mirror new tickets, pull requests and incidents, flag contradictions between sources, and expire facts the code no longer backs. Every change is a git commit.
- Agents read it over one MCP endpoint with seven read-only tools. ctxpipe returns sources with refs and line ranges, not answers, and runs no model in the MCP path.
- Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, VS Code and any MCP client (`npx ctxpipe init`).
- Open source (MIT). Self-host with Docker Compose, Terraform or AWS CDK, or use the hosted version (early access).
- Turn ctxpipe off and the knowledge stays in your repository, with its history.
- Coming (not yet available): MCP write tools, so agents can propose knowledge changes and record what they learn; More connectors; SOC 2.
