Features

Memory that thinks, not just stores.

Vector DBs give you embeddings. ContextQ gives you a second brain that clusters, links, and prunes itself.

Signature

Dream synthesis

LLM-assisted passes cluster related entries, write durable summaries, and archive the originals — keeping your memory atomic and discoverable. Think weekly retrospective for your second brain.

Hybrid search

Full-text (Postgres tsvector + Elasticsearch BM25) fused with pgvector cosine via Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Find context fast, even with vague queries.

[[auth-flow]] → supersedes

Typed links

Wikilinks resolve to typed edges (supersedes, contradicts, derived_from). Memory evolution auto-archives outdated entries.

31 MCP tools, one endpoint

Drop the HTTP MCP URL + your API key into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline. Every agent gets the same memory.

Tamper-evident audit chain

Every write is hash-chained. Verify integrity on demand, export CSV, set per-tenant retention. Tenant-isolated row-level security + AES at rest.

How we compare

Not just a vector DB. Not just a memory API.

ContextQ is the only stack that combines hybrid retrieval, PKM-grade evolution, and developer-tool ergonomics.

Get started

Three steps. Five minutes.

Two install paths — universal MCP, or the /ctq skill for Claude Code power users.

01

Create an API key

Sign up free, no credit card. Create a tenant, generate a scoped API key from the dashboard.

02

Connect your agent

Paste the MCP endpoint into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, or Cline. Tools auto-discover.

03

Save and search

Your agents now share memory across sessions, projects, and editors. Decisions compound instead of evaporating.

Drop-in config

.mcp.json
claude_desktop_config 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextq": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.contextq.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ctq_••••••••"
      }
    }
  }
}

Works the same in Cursor, Codex, Gemini, Windsurf, Cline.

Tool surface

31 tools. Seven groups. One memory layer.

Full CRUD, PKM operations, ingest, events, admin — every capability the agent needs.
