ContextHub

AI Memory Layer for Developers — Persistent context, semantic search, and intelligent context injection for every AI agent in your repositories.

What is ContextHub?

ContextHub is a local-first, privacy-focused AI memory and context orchestration layer that gives coding agents persistent memory across sessions. It understands your codebase, provides intelligent context injection to any AI agent, and keeps all your data encrypted and private.

Key Features

• ⚡ Token & Cost Optimizer — Saves 70%-90% context window and API costs via smart session compression and dynamic RRF filtering

• 🧠 Persistent Memory — Saves conversations, decisions, and learnings across sessions

• 🔍 Semantic Search — Natural language queries across all your memories with offline-verified local bigram embeddings

• 📊 Code Intelligence — Analyzes repo structure, dependencies, and transitive God-nodes

• 🔌 MCP-Compatible — Works natively with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, and any stdio MCP client

• 🔒 Encrypted Storage — Bank-grade AES-256-GCM encryption at rest with per-repo unique salt

• 🛡️ Auto-Redaction — API keys, tokens, private keys, and passwords detected and redacted before write

• 🌐 Local Dashboard — Interactive web dashboard to visually explore memory timelines and codebase topology

• 🌿 Git Integration — Automatically maps memories to branches, authors, commit hashes, and file diffs

• 📂 Multi-Root Support — Standard multi-root workspace configs limit file indexing strictly to active folders

• 📚 Docs Ingest — Ingest markdown directories and PDFs directly into semantic memory

• 🧠 DeepSync — One command to scan your entire repo (code + docs + git) and build a complete knowledge graph with auto-updates

• 🌐 Local-First — Zero telemetry and zero external network calls. Your code and memories never leave your workstation

Quick Start

You can set up ContextHub either Globally (for all your coding repositories) or as a Single-Repo local setup (isolated to this project only).

Option A: Single Repository Setup (Recommended)

Add ContextHub as a local dependency inside this specific project:

# 1. Install locally in the project root
npm install --save-dev @imayuur/contexthub

# 2. Run the local setup
npx contexthub setup

Option B: Global Installation (Universal)

Install globally to make the contexthub command globally accessible anywhere on your system:

# 1. Install globally
npm install -g @imayuur/contexthub

# 2. Run setup in the project root
contexthub setup

Option C: Instant Execution (No Install)

Run instantly via npx without storing any packages locally or globally:

npx @imayuur/contexthub setup

That's it! ContextHub will:

1. Initialize encrypted storage in .contexthub/

2. Generate encryption key (.contexthub/.keyfile, owner-only 0600 permissions)

3. Generate auth token (.contexthub/.auth-token)

4. Start the MCP server in the background with PID tracking

For AI Agents

Configure your AI agent to connect to ContextHub as an MCP server via stdio transport. The agent will automatically:

• Fetch relevant context before responding

• Save interactions as encrypted memories

• Query the knowledge graph and repo intelligence

🧠 DeepSync — One Command, Total Repo Awareness

npx @imayuur/contexthub deepsync

DeepSync performs a deep scan of your entire repository in one shot:

• 📂 Code Analysis — Parses all source files across 15+ languages, indexes symbols and import relationships

• 📄 Documentation — Ingests all markdown files into searchable, semantic memory

• 🔀 Git Mining — Analyzes commit history, identifies hot files and recent focus areas

• 🔢 Embeddings — Generates vector embeddings for semantic search across all memories

• 📊 Report — Writes a rich DEEPSYNC.md summary to .contexthub/

After the initial scan, ContextHub auto-updates incrementally on every ensure_session call — only changed files are re-analyzed. Zero manual effort.

Usage Examples

Dashboard (Interactive Web UI)

# Launch the local dashboard (localhost only)
contexthub dashboard

# Custom port
contexthub dashboard --port 4000

Opens at http://127.0.0.1:3847. Features:

• Memory Feed — browse all encrypted memories with tags and timestamps

• Intelligent Query — unified search across memories, graph, and git

• Topology Graph — interactive force-directed Vis.js graph of your codebase dependencies

• Click any node to inspect package workspace, dependency degree, and direct neighbors

Dashboard binds to 127.0.0.1 only — never exposed to the network.

How It Works

1. Capture — Interactions saved via MCP tools (no shell hooks)

2. Sanitize — All input validated, sensitive data auto-redacted

3. Encrypt — Data encrypted with AES-256-GCM before writing to disk

4. Analyze — RepoParser builds code structure understanding (sandboxed)

5. Embed — VectorEngine generates semantic embeddings

6. Inject — ContextInjector retrieves relevant context for AI queries
