Contextium MCP Server

contextium-io/contextium-mcp-server MCP server

Give Claude your team's brain. Pipe SOPs, coding standards, agents, and workflows directly into Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible assistant.

Stop copy-pasting context into every chat. Contextium is a shared knowledge platform that connects your team's documentation, AI agents, skills, and workflows to Claude via MCP — so the right context is always there, automatically.
