Features - Connector-driven ingestion — plug in any source (filesystem, Git repos, S3 buckets, Lua scripts) - Multi-format file support — plain text (e.g. Markdown, .txt ) plus PDF , Word ( .docx ), PowerPoint ( .pptx ), and Excel ( .xlsx ) with automatic text extraction when you include those extensions in include globs - Extension registries — install community connectors, tools, and agents from Git-backed repos - Local-first storage — SQLite with FTS5 for keyword search - Embedding pipeline — local (fastembed or tract), Ollama, and OpenAI embeddings with automatic batching, retry, and staleness detection - Hybrid retrieval — keyword + semantic + weighted merge (configurable alpha) - MCP server — expose context to Cursor and other AI tools via HTTP - CLI-first — everything accessible via the ctx command - Incremental sync — checkpointed, idempotent, deterministic Quick Start For a 5-minute walkthrough with copy-paste config, see the Quick Start guide on the docs site. 1.
