CodeArchitect FAQs

Question 1

What is CodeArchitect and its primary purpose?

Accepted Answer

CodeArchitect is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that stores your AI conversation sessions as organized markdown files directly within your project. Its primary purpose is to help developers track development decisions, AI interactions, and the rationale behind code changes efficiently.

Question 2

How does CodeArchitect organize the stored AI conversation sessions?

Accepted Answer

CodeArchitect automatically organizes sessions by date, placing them in a `.codearchitect/sessions/` folder within your project. It also smartly extracts and sanitizes session topics from conversations to create descriptive filenames.

Can I customize where CodeArchitect stores my AI sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes, while sessions are stored per-project by default, you can customize the storage location. You can specify a custom directory for individual projects or set a global folder using the `CODEARCHITECT_SESSIONS_DIR` environment variable in your IDE's configuration (e.g., VS Code or Cursor).

Question 4

Is CodeArchitect easy to set up for my development workflow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, CodeArchitect is designed for a zero-configuration setup with auto-detected project roots, making it easy to get started. For the best experience across multiple projects, workspace-specific configurations are recommended for seamless integration with IDEs like VS Code and Cursor.
