Open-Source Tool Cuts Context Use for AI Coding
A new open-source tool called Context Mode aims to reduce how much background information AI coding assistants use up during work. It is built as an MCP server, a add-on that plugs into AI tools. The project was shared on Hacker News, where developers can look at it and try it out.
