Overview
Use MCP clients to let agents read, search, and update your context repository through structured tools. This allows tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or your own MCP client to work with the same governed context that users see in the Context tab.Reading
MCP clients can list folders, inspect the repository structure, and read files directly. Supported read operations include:- List the contents of a folder
- Recursively browse a folder or the full context repository
- Read one or more Markdown files
- Resolve relevant context by file path before expanding into related files
Searching
MCP clients can search across the context repository when the relevant file path is unknown. Supported search operations include:- Search file contents across the repository
- Find files by name, path, or content
- Use hybrid search to combine semantic relevance with exact matches
Writing
MCP clients can create and update context programmatically, subject to the client’s access controls. Supported write operations include:- Create a new Markdown file
- Overwrite an existing file
- Create folders
- Rename, edit, move, or delete a single file or folder
Qontext automatically logs queries executed by your MCP clients. The MCP access history for a given file can be viewed in the Retrieval history section of the UI.
