Start coding in Cursor, finish in Claude – full context follows you

Hey YC!

You know that moment when you're deep in Cursor, building something, hit the context window limit, and realize you'd have to explain EVERYTHING again to Claude from scratch?

Yeah, that's gone now.

Context Sync v0.5.0 lets you literally switch between Cursor and Claude mid-project and pick up exactly where you left off.

Real scenario I had yesterday: 1. Building a TODO app in Cursor 2. Hit context limit at 200K tokens 3. Open Claude Desktop 4. "Continue building the TODO app" 5. Claude: "Sure! Let me add the overdue detection to the TodoManager class we were working on..."

Claude knew: - The exact app I was building - The architecture decisions we made - The TODOs I created while coding - Every file structure and function

It's like having one continuous conversation across tools.

How it works: - MCP server stores your project context (decisions, conversations, TODOs) - Both Cursor and Claude connect to the same MCP server - Context auto-loads when you switch platforms - SQLite storage - everything local, nothing cloud

New in v0.5.0 - Global TODO System: - Create todos in Cursor: "todo: refactor auth, high priority" - Switch to Claude: "show my high priority todos" - Complete them anywhere: "mark auth refactor as done" - They persist across EVERYTHING

The pain this solves: - No more "let me explain my project again" - No more copy-pasting context between tools - No more losing track of decisions when switching - No more "which AI tool has the latest info?"

Technical: - 50+ MCP tools (file ops, git, code analysis, TODOs) - TypeScript + SQLite - Works with Claude Desktop + Cursor (VS Code coming) - MIT licensed

Setup: 2 minutes ```bash git clone https://github.com/Intina47/context-sync cd context-sync node setup.js ```

The moment you hit a context limit and realize you can just... switch tools and keep going? That's the magic.

Questions welcome!

Dang, I'm building this too. Is everybody building this?

LOL right? I think we all rage-quit Cursor at the same context limit wall and decided to fix it.

What angle are you taking? I'm doing MCP + local SQLite. Betting you have some insights I'm missing.

Drop a link if you're sharing - would love to compare approaches. This space needs more collaboration.
