Contextberg

Surfaces your active work as persistent agent memory and serves it to agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Work-to-Memory Conversion: Extracts contextual signals from a user's workspace (files, tabs, app state and activity) and converts them into structured memory artifacts usable by agents.
MCP Serving: Exposes collected memory via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so any MCP-compatible agent or tool can query and consume context in a standard way.
Long-Term Persistence: Stores and indexes historical context across sessions to provide agents with continuity and long-term state for multi-step or recurring tasks.
Interoperability with Agent Tooling: Designed to plug into developer workflows and agent infrastructures, enabling multiple agents and platforms to reuse the same context artifacts.
Context Enrichment: Organizes and surfaces relevant snippets of work history so agents receive concise, actionable context rather than raw logs or bulk files.
Serve work history and artifacts as agent-readable memory via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Index and persist long-term context so agents can access historical state across sessions.
Provide a standardized memory endpoint for agent frameworks and tooling to query context.
Integrate with developer workflows and tooling to capture relevant context from work artifacts.
Reduce context-switching by making workspace context available to multiple agents and tools.

Persistent Coding Assistants: Provide code-focused agents with project history, design decisions, and prior edits so suggestions and refactorings consider long-term context.
Customer Support Augmentation: Supply support agents with the user’s prior interactions, documents, and troubleshooting steps to enable faster, context-aware responses.
Personal Productivity Agents: Let personal assistants recall past tasks, notes, and project context to manage follow-ups, scheduling, and multi-session workflows.
Team Knowledge Access: Serve a shared, queryable memory layer to team agents so newcomers and tools can access project context and rationale without manual handoffs.
Agent Handoffs and Orchestration: Allow multiple specialized agents to request the same memory artifacts via MCP when coordinating complex, multi-step automations.
Enable agents to complete multi-step tasks using a user's historical project context.
Provide persistent memory for coding assistants so they retain project-specific state between sessions.
Bridge work artifacts (files, commits, notes) into a standardized memory layer for orchestration.
Improve agent decision-making by serving relevant long-term context during automated workflows.

Reads your repositories to discover every API, scores and governs them, then exposes them to developers and AI agents via hosted MCP servers.

Spec-Free API Discovery: Elva scans repository code directly to find endpoints and generates OpenAPI 3.1 as output, so no existing spec is needed to start.
Endpoint Scoring: Every collection is graded on design, developer experience, AI readiness, security and performance, with the weakest collection surfaced first.
AI Fix Pass: A one-click agent writes missing descriptions from code, types response schemas and documents auth, then rescores the collection.
API Contracts: Per-audience contracts pin the exact endpoints and fields a partner, internal team, public developer or MCP client receives, excluding PII and internal fields.
Breaking Change Enforcement: Each commit is diffed against published contracts, showing the schema diff, affected consumers and tools, and blocking publish by policy.
Hosted MCP Servers: Contracts generate MCP servers hosted behind Elva's gateway with OAuth2, scoped keys, per-tool authorization and exportable call logs.
MCP Playground and Agent Feedback: Test the server with a live model, then read the complaints agents file about confusing or failing tools, scored back into the catalog.
Multi-Target Publishing: One approved contract ships as OpenAPI spec, Theneo docs, MCP server, Postman collection and a typed TypeScript SDK in sync.

API Inventory Audit: Discover undocumented or forgotten endpoints across a large codebase and get a ranked list of what to fix first.
Agent Enablement: Expose an internal service to Claude, Cursor or ChatGPT as a governed MCP server instead of hand-writing tool wrappers.
Partner Integration Safety: Publish a restricted contract to an external partner and have Elva block commits that would break their integration.
PII Scoping: Keep customer emails and internal ops annotations out of a public or agent-facing surface while the same endpoints serve them internally.
Zombie Endpoint Retirement: Prove no active consumer references an endpoint before deleting it, using contract and call-log evidence.
Enterprise Security Review: Satisfy SOC 2, ISO 27001 and GDPR questions and wire agent access into an existing SSO and SCIM identity provider.
Documentation Drift Control: Keep docs, SDKs and Postman collections regenerated from code on every merge instead of maintained by hand.
