How do you manage context/memory across multiple AI tools?

7•arapkuliev•1h ago

I'm curious how others are handling this: I use Claude for some tasks, Cursor for coding, ChatGPT for research, and Perplexity for quick lookups.

The problem is none of them know what I've discussed with the others.

I find myself re-explaining the same context repeatedly, or copy-pasting from Notion docs.

For those of you heavily using AI tools:

- How are you managing shared context across tools?

- What's your current workflow for keeping AI "memory" consistent?

- Have you found any solutions that work well?

Especially interested in hearing from teams where multiple people need to access the same knowledge base across different AI sessions.

I saw before that someone has developed a software that can transform the context between major AI programs, which should be helpful to your problem.

for what its worth - i've settled on a simple markdown file that i keep updated with project context, decisions, and quirks. before starting any AI session i just paste the relevant sections in. not elegant but it works.

some folks have been experimenting with MCP (model context protocol) servers that sync state between tools. haven't tried it personally but the idea is you have a single source of truth that all your agents can query.

I use markdown files which full detail and summarized versions. I also create files just for an aspect of it (security, performance) so that it makes it easier to reference.

Anthropic is pushing MCP for a reason. The idea is to spin up a local MCP server that serves project context - docs, architectural decisions, DB schemas - which Claude Desktop and Cursor (via plugins or natively soon) can connect to

For a team this is a total killer feature: you spin up a shared MCP server with documentation, and all agents instantly sync their "brains"
