20 Context Mode alternatives
Context Mode: MCP server and Claude Code plugin that keeps bulky tool output out of your context window, indexes it for search, and preserves session state across compaction. 20 MCP servers do similar work, most sharing Coding Agent, SQLite and Claude Code, ranked by how much they have in common with Context Mode.
