CONTEXT MODE

Summary from the TLDR DevOps newsletter

Context Mode is an MCP server that reduces context window usage by 98% for AI coding agents. It saves tool output to a sandbox so raw data never enters the conversation, shrinking a typical 315 KB output load to 5.4 KB. The tool also persists session memory in SQLite, allowing agents to recover their state after a conversation compacts. It works across 17 platforms, including Claude Code, Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, and Cursor.
