⁠What is Context Pilot?

Context Pilot gives your AI assistant persistent, structured memory. Store knowledge once, use it with any AI model — Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Ollama, LM Studio, or any MCP-compatible client.

• No registration required — install and use immediately
• No data leaves your machine — everything runs on localhost
• MIT License — use, modify, distribute freely
• Plugin-based connectors — extend with simple Python modules
