# OpenContext

> OpenContext turns documents, email, repositories, and conversations into a knowledge graph of plain markdown files on your own machine; coding agents and chat assistants read it as memory through a command-line tool and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Local-first, no telemetry, no account, free during the closed beta, and the whole graph exports as a zip or pushes to your own git remote.

OpenContext is a local app (Node 22, macOS and Linux) with a web interface, an `opencontext` command-line tool, and an MCP server with five tools (search_graph, read_entity, graph_neighbors, contribute, invoke_agent). Every page on this site has a markdown twin at the same path with a `.md` extension; the links below point at the markdown. The source repository (https://github.com/Alec-Merle/OpenContext) is private during the closed beta. Current release: 0.2.0.
