Cursor aligned the save and load paths. The work report records three passing tests, but the restart check in the signed app is still open.

Next check

Open the current diff, change a setting, quit the app completely, and relaunch it. Confirm the value survives before marking the bug fixed.

Sample answer

ContextBerg
Send switches to the next example. Check answers against source records.
Connect ChatGPT

Enable the relevant capture and integrations, and keep ContextBerg running. Mac examples require Node.js.

In a desktop environment with MCP settings, add a STDIO server: command npx; args -y @contextberg/mcp-server. ChatGPT web needs a separate connection architecture.

Restart and check /mcp. Retrieved records are passed to your AI client.

Recover the context behind work and everyday plans

Which checks remained after yesterday’s code change? Why did you like that desk? What did you promise to bring to the client call? Useful context is spread across browsing, app activity, and conversations with AI.

MCP lets an AI client use external tools and information. ContextBerg’s local MCP server exposes available work reports and supported agent conversations. The interactive examples above let you inspect how those records could support a response.

Four situations, four different kinds of help

TaskRecords to consultUseful result
Resume codingEditor activity, agent conversations, and a work reportThe last change and an outstanding verification step
Find a product you likedProduct-page history and an AI comparison conversationThe original page, your reasons, and an unresolved constraint
Prepare a client callReference documents, planning conversations, and an active deckWhat you promised to bring and questions for the agenda
Organize a weekend tripRoute-page history and a planning conversationAn unfinished preparation checklist

Start with the fragment you remember: the desk with cable storage, tomorrow’s Northstar call, or the trip you planned over lunch. A useful response may be a verification step, a recovered preference, a call agenda, or a packing checklist.

Inspect the records behind the answer

A browser visit locates a product page; a saved conversation can explain why you liked it. Opening a proposal does not establish that it was sent, and discussing a travel checklist does not make the errands complete. Inspect the source records behind the answer.

The demo uses sample data to explain the workflow. In the product, available context depends on enabled capture, supported integrations, and the requested period.

Connect your usual AI client

Choose a client in the demo and open its setup instructions for a Mac example. Claude Code and Codex can run the local MCP server. The ChatGPT example targets desktop environments with MCP settings; ChatGPT web requires a separate connection architecture.

Retrieved records are passed to the AI client and its configured model. Check capture scope and model destination before using work information.
