jdocmunch-mcp vs context-mode
jdocmunch-mcp: jDocMunch-MCP indexes documentation once by heading hierarchy and section structure, then gives MCP-compatible agents precise access to the explanations they actually need. It saves tokens and context window space by retrieving only the relevant section instead of entire files. This improves agent efficiency and reduces costs.; context-mode: Every tool call in an MCP (Model-Controller-Program) environment dumps raw data into the context window, quickly consuming space and causing the agent to lose track of ongoing tasks. Context Mode is an MCP server that tackles this by sandboxing tool outputs to significantly reduce context usage, tracking session events in SQLite for continuity, and promoting 'think in code' to minimize data processing within the LLM.

02Byte-precise extraction
03Stable section IDs
04Local-first architecture

context-mode01Context Saving: Sandbox tools keep raw data out of the context window, achieving up to 98% reduction.
02Session Continuity: Tracks every file edit, git operation, task, and user decision in SQLite for seamless session resume.
03Think in Code: Promotes LLMs to program analysis, not compute it, saving 100x context by logging only results.
04Batch Execution & Search: Run multiple commands/queries in one call with tools like `ctx_batch_execute`.
05Advanced Knowledge Base: Uses SQLite FTS5 with BM25 ranking, smart snippets, and TTL cache for efficient information retrieval.
