Privacy & Architecture

Context Mode is not a CLI output filter or a cloud analytics dashboard. It operates at the MCP protocol layer — raw data stays in a sandboxed subprocess and never enters your context window. Web pages, API responses, file analysis, Playwright snapshots, log files — everything is processed in complete isolation.

**Nothing leaves your machine.** No telemetry, no cloud sync, no usage tracking, no account required. Your code, your prompts, your session data — all local. The SQLite databases live in your home directory and die when you're done.

This is a deliberate architectural choice, not a missing feature. Context optimization should happen at the source, not in a dashboard behind a per-seat subscription. Privacy-first is our philosophy — and every design decision follows from it. [License →](#license)

The Problem

Every MCP tool call dumps raw data into your context window. A Playwright snapshot costs 56 KB. Twenty GitHub issues cost 59 KB. One access log — 45 KB. After 30 minutes, 40% of your context is gone. And when the agent compacts the conversation to free space, it forgets which files it was editing, what tasks are in progress, and what you last asked for.

Context Mode is an MCP server that solves both halves of this problem:
