Common questions.
What is Sidecontext?
A macOS app for developers who juggle multiple side projects. It tracks your projects, tools, repos, domains, and costs — and maps the relationships between them.
Is Sidecontext free?
Free during beta — no subscription, no account required. Download and start adding your projects. Pricing after beta hasn't been announced yet.
What is the MCP server?
A built-in Model Context Protocol server that lets AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code Copilot query your project data. Your AI assistant can look up tools, check vulnerabilities, manage todos, and get full project context — all from local data.
Does Sidecontext track costs?
Yes. Track monthly costs for platforms, services, domains, and infrastructure across all your projects with per-project breakdowns.
Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and VS Code?
Yes. The MCP server works with 9 AI tools: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code / Copilot, JetBrains IDEs, and Zed.
Is my data private?
Yes. All data lives on your Mac in a SwiftData store. API tokens are stored in macOS Keychain. No analytics, no telemetry, no network requests except the ones you configure. Optional iCloud sync between your own devices — never third-party servers.
