Getting Started with SynContext

Get Claude and other MCP-compatible clients sharing project context in under 5 minutes.

1. Create your account

  1. Go to syncontext.dev/app
  2. Click Sign Up and enter your email + password (min 8 characters)
  3. Your API key is displayed on the confirmation screen
  4. Check your email for a verification link (required to access the dashboard)

Save your API key immediately. It is shown only once at registration. If you lose it, you can regenerate one in Settings — but the old key will stop working.

Your API key works right away. You can connect API-key clients immediately, even before verifying your email. Email verification is only required for dashboard login.

2. Connect your first AI

Choose your MCP-compatible client and follow the connection guide:

You can connect multiple MCP-compatible clients. They all work from the same SynContext project memory.

3. Store your first context

Once connected, ask your AI to store something:

Store this context in SynContext:
Project: my-app
Title: Tech stack decision
Content: We're using React + Vite for the frontend and Python + Starlette for the backend API.

The AI will call hub_store_context and confirm the entry was saved.

4. Verify sync works

Open a different AI client (e.g., if you stored from Claude, now open ChatGPT) and ask:

Search my SynContext for "tech stack"

You should see the entry you just stored. That's cross-AI sync working.

5. Explore the dashboard

Visit syncontext.dev/app to:

  • Browse your projects and context entries
