Getting started

Who is ctx| for?

Teams and use cases that benefit from org-scoped context for coding agents.

Engineering organisations

ctx| is aimed at teams that already use AI coding agents (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot in agent mode, internal tools) and hit the same wall: the model does not know your architecture, your conventions, or what you decided last month unless it is pasted into context every time.

If you:

  • Run multiple services or packages in a monorepo,
  • Care about consistency (lint rules, ADRs, security patterns),
  • Want agents to discover rather than guess APIs and ownership,

…then centralising context in an org-scoped graph plus MCP is the product bet.

Roles

RoleTypical value
Engineering leads / architectsEncode standards once; agents consume them via ctx_advisor and ingestion.
Platform / DevExOne MCP integration for many agents; fewer bespoke RAG pipelines per tool.
IC engineersFaster onboarding to unfamiliar areas of the codebase with search + graph-backed answers.
Security-conscious orgsSelf-host option; data stays in infrastructure you control (see Self hosting).

What ctx| is not trying to be

  • Not a replacement for code review or human judgment on risky changes.
  • Not automatic sync of every SaaS doc in the world — connections are deliberate (repos, docs you wire in, tools you configure).
  • Not magic accuracy: extraction quality depends on repo shape, indexing, and model configuration; always verify critical decisions in code.
