Question 1

What is AwesomeContext?

Accepted Answer

AwesomeContext is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives Claude Code instant access to 122+ engineering rules — architecture patterns, security checklists, coding standards, and compliance checks. It retrieves relevant rules in under 5ms with 96% token savings compared to including raw documentation in prompts.

Question 2

How do I set up AwesomeContext with Claude Code?

Accepted Answer

Sign up for a free API key at awesomecontext.awareness.market, then add it to your Claude Code settings: {"mcpServers": {"awesome-context": {"url": "https://awesomecontext.awareness.market/mcp", "headers": {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}}}}. Claude will automatically call get_rules when you start a new session.

Question 3

What MCP tools does AwesomeContext provide?

Accepted Answer

AwesomeContext provides four MCP tools: get_rules (loads project-specific coding standards), architect_consult (retrieves architecture patterns before coding), skill_injector (loads specialized skills like security reviews and TDD workflows), and compliance_verify (checks code against rules before committing).

Question 4

Is AwesomeContext free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. AwesomeContext is open source under the MIT license. The cloud-hosted version is free — sign up to get your API key. You can also self-host with Docker for full control.
