A Complete Solution to Complex Project Context Loss
In large programming projects, developers often face the pain point of missing context such as debugging information, code snippets, and decision logic. cipher solves this problem once and for all with the following actionable solutions:
- Persistent Memory Layer Deployment: Install globally via npm
@byterover/cipher
or Docker containerized deployments with permanent contextual storage systems - MCP protocol integration: Configure tools such as Cursor/Claude Code to connect to Cipher's MCP server (default port 3000) to automatically synchronize the context of the development environment.
- Dual memory system use::
- Interaction Mode: Direct Run
cipher
Access to the REPL environment to record key information - Single command: use
cipher "记录Vite项目CORS解决方案"
Syntax Fast Storage
- Interaction Mode: Direct Run
- Search Optimization Tips: Combined with OpenAI embedding capabilities, using natural language queries such as
cipher "检索上周React性能优化记录"
When working in teams, it is recommended that the.env
Configure a shared API key in thedocker-compose
Deploy a unified memory server to ensure that all members have access to the same context repository.
