Create free accountExplore templates
Contextaify includes a gallery of pre-designed templates for the most common use cases. Start with a template to speed up your setup.
Brand Identity — Define your brand’s voice, tone, and personality so every AI respects it.
Tech Stack — Document your architecture, languages, and code conventions.
Style Guide — Writing rules, formatting, and terminology for consistent content.
Create your first context
A context is a structured document containing the information you want your AI tools to know. You can create one from scratch or start from a template.
Use descriptive titles to find contexts quickly.
Organize by project, client, or team.
Use URL extraction to import existing content from your website or documentation.
Each context can have multiple sections with different content types.
Connect via MCP (recommended)
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the most powerful way to connect Contextaify with your AI tools. The connection is real-time and bidirectional.

If your tool doesn’t support MCP, you can use other methods to bring your contexts to any AI.
Export as file
Download your contexts in Markdown, JSON, or plain text format and attach them to your conversation.
Copy and paste
Copy the optimized content of a context and paste it directly into any AI’s prompt.
REST API
Integrate Contextaify programmatically into your workflows with our complete API.

| Export | Manual | Instant | Any AI |
| Copy-paste | Manual | Instant | Any AI |
| API REST | On demand | ~10 min | Any system |
Verify the connection
Once connected, verify everything works by asking your AI to use your contexts.
Example verification prompt:
"Use my Contextaify contexts to summarize my brand identity and my tech stack conventions."
Best practices
Follow these recommendations to get the most out of Contextaify.
Keep contexts updated
Review and update your contexts regularly. Changes sync automatically with all tools connected via MCP.
Be specific and concise
The most effective contexts are clear and direct. Avoid redundant or overly generic information.
Organize by project
Create separate contexts for each project or client. This lets you activate only the relevant ones at any time.
Use URL extraction
Import existing content from your website, documentation, or repositories so you don’t start from scratch.
