ContextStream MCP Server tools (7, 3 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
batch_operationswrite actionExecute multiple independent read-only operations in one call. Rejects write or destructive operations.
contextstreamwrite actionExecute any ContextStream operation. Use contextstream_help to see available operations. Example: contextstream({ op: "session_init", args: { folder_path: "/path/to/project" } }) This single tool replaces 50+ individual tools, dramatically reducing token overhead. All ContextStream functionality is accessible through this dispatcher.
contextstream_helpGet help on available ContextStream operations or schema for a specific operation. Examples: - contextstream_help({}) - List all operations by category - contextstream_help({ op: "session_init" }) - Get schema for session_init - contextstream_help({ category: "Memory" }) - List memory operations only
contextstream_setupContextStream is not configured. Call this tool for setup instructions.
execute_operationwrite actionExecute an operation returned by operations or tool_search.
operationsList available operations. Use execute_operation to run them.
tool_searchSearch available tools and hidden operations, then call direct tools or use execute_operation for deferred capabilities.

What the publisher says
From the ContextStream MCP Server repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.contextstream/mcp-server -->
ContextStream MCP Server
Persistent memory. Millisecond code search.
Your agent knows code. Give it the decisions behind yours.
Connect your code, docs, and conversations so your agents can find the right files, recall saved decisions, and build on past work across sessions and tools.
Start free with MCP
10,000 monthly credits. No credit card required.
Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other supported MCP clients. Create your account or sign in during MCP onboarding. No separate website signup needed.
macOS and Linux
bash -o pipefail -c 'curl -fsSL https://contextstream.io/scripts/mcp.sh | bash'Windows PowerShell
irm https://contextstream.io/scripts/mcp.ps1 | iexPaste the command into your terminal and follow onboarding to connect your project and supported editor. Restart your editor after setup.

Make the next session useful
Ask your connected agent:
Use ContextStream to find the files relevant to my next change. Cite the
sources and retrieve any saved project decisions that should guide the work.
Then ask it to save a real decision and its reason. Start a new session and retrieve that decision without explaining it again. Indexing supplies code context; it cannot recover every undocumented decision.
Proof and data controls
95 ms median code search in our published benchmark. This is the measured successful-response median for the disclosed configuration, not a latency guarantee. See results, methodology, and limitations.
Scoped access. Traceable sources. Configurable capture. Indexing sends eligible source contents to ContextStream for hosted search. Transcript saving and local Git metadata capture are on by default and can be turned off. Review data handling and controls before connecting sensitive projects.
Other installation options and troubleshooting
npm (Node.js 20+)
npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server@latest setupThe npm launcher downloads the native Rust binary for your platform and verifies its SHA-256 checksum. Pin an exact package version for production automation.
Hosted MCP without a local process
For clients supporting Streamable HTTP and OAuth, the hosted endpoint is:
https://mcp.contextstream.io/mcpUse the MCP documentation for your client's configuration and stdio alternatives. A hosted connection alone does not sync your local checkout.
Preview or diagnose setup
contextstream-mcp setup --dry-run
contextstream-mcp doctor --scope=all --only-configuredScripted and CI setup
pipefail makes the install command fail when the download fails, instead of reporting success after installing nothing. setup --yes reads the key from CONTEXTSTREAMAPIKEY or saved credentials, and needs --workspace-id when the account has more than one workspace:
export CONTEXTSTREAM_API_KEY=... # or: printf %s "$KEY" | contextstream-mcp configure --api-key-stdin
contextstream-mcp setup --yes --editors=claude --workspace-id=<UUID> --project-path=.Open source and contributing
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
Install directly
Runs npx -y @contextstream/mcp-server on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.
