Chat Context MCP

# Cursor Context MCP Server - AI Instructions ## Purpose This MCP server provides access to the user's **PAST/SAVED Cursor chat sessions** stored in their local database. It does NOT provide information about the current chat or project code. ## When to Use These Tools ### ✅ USE MCP TOOLS When User Asks About: - **Past chat sessions**: "Show my past chats", "List my previous conversations" - **Searching old sessions**: "Find a conversation where we discussed [X]", "I remember talking about [Y]" - **Session management**: "What tags do I have?", "Show my chat history", "What projects have I chatted about?" - **Loading specific sessions**: "Load my 'auth-design' session", "Show me session [ID]" ### ❌ DO NOT Use MCP Tools For: - Understanding the current conversation (the AI already has this in context) - Explaining project code or architecture (use codebase tools instead) - Reading files in the current project (use file reading tools instead) - Questions about "how this project works" (the user is asking about code, not past chats) ## Clear Trigger Examples **User says**: "Show my past chat sessions" **Action**: ✅ Call `list_sessions` MCP tool **User says**: "Find a conversation where we discussed authentication" **Action**: ✅ Call `search_sessions` with query="authentication" **User says**: "List my recent chat sessions" **Action**: ⚠️ AMBIGUOUS - but likely means PAST sessions, so call `list_sessions` **User says**: "How does this authentication system work?" **Action**: ❌ DO NOT call MCP tools - read the project code instead **User says**: "I remember discussing database migrations last week, find that chat" **Action**: ✅ Call `search_sessions` with query="database migrations" ## Available MCP Tools 1. **list_sessions** - Lists past chat sessions with filtering options 2. **search_sessions** - Searches past chats by content/topic 3. **get_session** - Retrieves full conversation of a specific past session 4. **set_nickname** - Assigns a memorable name to a session 5. **add_tag** - Tags a session for organization 6. **remove_tag** - Removes tags from a session 7. **list_tags** - Shows all available tags 8. **list_projects** - Shows all projects with saved sessions 9. **get_current_session_id** - Placeholder for future extension ## Important Notes - The current chat is ALREADY in your context - you don't need tools to reference it - These tools search the user's **saved chat history database**, not the codebase - If ambiguous, ask the user: "Are you asking about this current chat, or do you want me to search your past chat sessions?" - When in doubt about whether to use MCP tools, prefer NOT using them unless the user explicitly mentions "past", "previous", "find", or "search" in relation to chats/sessions
