           TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
        
           1. Definitions.
        
              "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
              and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
        
              "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
              the copyright owner that is granting the License.
        
              "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
              other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
              control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
              "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
              direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
              otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
              outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
        
              "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
              exercising permissions granted by this License.
        
              "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
              including but not limited to software source code, documentation
              source, and configuration files.
        
              "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
              transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
              not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
              and conversions to other media types.
        
              "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
              Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
              copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
              (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
        
              "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
              form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
              editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
              represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
              of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
              separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
              the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
        
              "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
              the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
              to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
              submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
              or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
              the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
              means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
              to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
              communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
              and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
              Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
              excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
              designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
        
              "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
              on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
              subsequently incorporated within the Work.
        
           2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
              publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
              Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
        
           3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
              this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
              worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
              (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
              use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
              where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
              by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
              Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
              with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
              institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
              cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
              or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
              or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
              granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
              as of the date such litigation is filed.
        
           4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
              Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
              modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
              meet the following conditions:
        
              (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
                  Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
        
              (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
                  stating that You changed the files; and
        
              (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
                  that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
                  attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
                  excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
                  the Derivative Works; and
        
              (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
                  distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
                  include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
                  within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
                  pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
                  of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
                  as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
                  documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
                  within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
                  wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
                  of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
                  do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
                  notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
                  or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
                  that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
                  as modifying the License.
        
              You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
              may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
              for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
              for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
              reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
              the conditions stated in this License.
        
           5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
              any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
              by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
              this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
              Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
              the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
              with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
        
           6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
              names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
              except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
              origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
        
           7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
              agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
              Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
              WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
              implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
              of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
              PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
              appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
              risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
        
           8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
              whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
              unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
              negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
              liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
              incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
              result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
              Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
              work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
              other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
              has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
        
           9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
              the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
              and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
              or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
              License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
              on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
              of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
              defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
              incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
              of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
        
           END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
        
        
           APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
        
              To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
              boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"

# Context Bridge

**Find what you decided in past Claude and ChatGPT conversations, with citations.**

Import your exports, connect an MCP client, and ask: “What did I decide about Kafka retries last week?” Search stays on your computer. Results link to the original web conversation or an exact local transcript passage.

![Synthetic import, search and citation demo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ModernFarm-hub/context-bridge/main/docs/assets/demo.gif)

Beta (0.7.0b2) · Apache-2.0 · Python 3.9–3.13 · macOS and Linux · local-first · no telemetry

## Quickstart

The commands below use [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). If `uvx` is not installed yet:

```sh
brew install uv
# or: curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
```

With an official ChatGPT export ZIP downloaded, import it:

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge import chatgpt /path/to/export.zip
```

To keep a `context-bridge` command on your PATH instead, install it as a tool:

```sh
uv tool install context-bridge-local      # or: pipx install context-bridge-local
context-bridge import chatgpt /path/to/export.zip
```

If the shell then reports `command not found`, run `uv tool update-shell` (or `pipx ensurepath`) and open a new terminal.

Without uv or pipx, install into a dedicated virtual environment. A bare `pip install` outside one either puts the command off your PATH (macOS's bundled Python 3.9) or is refused as an externally managed environment (Homebrew and python.org Python 3.12+):

```sh
python3 -m venv ~/.context-bridge
~/.context-bridge/bin/python -m pip install -U pip context-bridge-local
~/.context-bridge/bin/context-bridge import chatgpt /path/to/export.zip
```

For Claude.ai instead:

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge import claude /path/to/export.zip
```

Connect Claude Code:

```sh
claude mcp add --transport stdio context-bridge -- uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge mcp
```

Ask: **“Use context_search to find what I decided about Kafka retries. Cite the conversation link. If needed, use context_read with the returned record_id and context=2 to read the surrounding turns.”**

There is no required source/reader window split. Every client using this local library searches the same approved imports. [All client setup instructions](docs/CLIENTS.md), including [ChatGPT desktop app setup and troubleshooting](docs/CLIENTS.md#chatgpt-desktop-app).

## Existing Claude Code conversations

Preview the projects available on this machine:

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge import claude-code
```

Approve the displayed list at the prompt, or select one project explicitly:

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge import claude-code --select 1,3 --yes
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge import claude-code --path /path/to/project --yes
```

The preview numbers projects; an interactive terminal lets you choose numbers before approving. Raw dash-prefixed names also work with `--project -Users-alice-code-app` without an equals sign. The prompt approves the selected project directories, including future session files. New sessions are discovered during search refresh; other projects remain excluded. Existing 0.6.0a1 file-only imports need this project approval again to enable discovery. Session titles come from Claude Code's `ai-title` records when available. The optional `context-bridge start` manager creates and approves live Claude Code sessions; those sessions refresh automatically when searched.

## Keep accounts separate

Export metadata (`user.json`, account IDs or user IDs when present) is compared before any imported data is changed. A different or unverifiable account stops a noninteractive import; in a terminal you can explicitly confirm replacement. `--yes` does not bypass this check. Prefer a separate named profile:

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge import chatgpt /path/to/export.zip --profile personal
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge list --profile personal
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge mcp --profile personal
```

Use the same `--profile` on import, MCP, list/stats/remove and the optional manager. Named profiles have separate files/databases under the base library's `profiles/NAME` directory. Only hashed account identifiers are stored. If both exports omit all account identifiers, account changes cannot be detected. Existing unidentified sources require explicit confirmation before adopting an identified account. To deliberately replace a provider's account snapshot, use `--confirm-account-switch`; absent conversations will be removed.

## Manage your library

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge list
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge stats
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge remove --conversation 'https://chatgpt.com/c/CONVERSATION_ID'
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge remove --conversation CONVERSATION_ID
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge remove --provider chatgpt
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge exclusions list --profile personal
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge exclusions clear --conversation 'https://chatgpt.com/c/CONVERSATION_ID' --profile personal
```

Provider names are `chatgpt`, `claude`, and `claude-code`. List returns provider, title, creation date and indexed message count. Removal deletes index rows, FTS data, ingestion state, citation handles, metadata/config entries, and owned web-import copies. Original export ZIPs and Claude Code transcripts stay untouched. Removing a Claude Code provider also withdraws project-directory approval; removing one Code conversation prevents its automatic rediscovery. Removing a web conversation creates a durable exclusion in that profile: future ChatGPT/Claude imports skip it. Exclusions store only a provider and a SHA-256 digest of the provider/conversation ID, without titles or plaintext conversation IDs. `exclusions list` shows those hashes; use the original ID or provider link with `exclusions clear --conversation` to restore eligibility, then re-import. A link selects one provider; clearing a bare ID clears matching exclusions across both web providers. Use the same `--profile` consistently. Removing a whole provider preserves existing conversation exclusions but does not create exclusions for every remaining chat; a later export can restore those remaining chats. Only explicit `exclusions clear` clears the saved web exclusions.

Large export imports show progress on stderr and report `conversations_removed` and `conversations_excluded`. Excluded IDs are counted as skips, never imports or snapshot removals. Snapshot pruning does not create exclusions; absent chats can return in a later export. If an export contains objects without identifiable conversation IDs, pruning is skipped and reported as `pruning_skipped`; malformed entries with known IDs preserve their prior copy rather than masquerading as deletions.

## What you get

| Tool | Result |
| --- | --- |
| `context_search` | Relevant redacted passages with title, provider, date, conversation link and opaque record ID |
| `context_read` | Surrounding indexed turns (context=2 by default, maximum 10 each side), with pagination and changed-window checks |

ChatGPT imports follow the active message-tree branch. Claude.ai imports human/assistant text. Tools, thinking blocks and internal replayed API requests are excluded. Re-importing a new export updates the conversation without duplicate messages. Each provider export is an authoritative snapshot: re-importing it removes conversations absent from that export, including their index and managed copies. Do not use a partial export to merge accounts. Export imports do not capture new browser chats automatically.

Web citations open `chatgpt.com/c/<id>` or `claude.ai/chat/<uuid>` and require your normal provider access. Claude Code citations use `urn:context-bridge:record:<id>` handles resolved by `context_read`. They are not browser URLs. The MCP interface does not expose local filesystem locators. [Passage behavior](docs/PASSAGE-READING.md).

Search retrieves recorded statements; it does not establish that those statements are true. Explicit recency words influence ranking, but arbitrary date-range filtering is not implemented.

## Local-first privacy

- No Context Bridge account, hosted storage, analytics or usage telemetry.
- Indexing and default SQLite FTS5/BM25 search run locally, with no required runtime dependencies or cloud embedding calls.
- Recognized credentials, Slack/Discord webhook URLs and URL passwords are redacted before indexing and again on MCP output. JSON/YAML schema keys such as `primary_key`, `sort_key` and `cache_key` are preserved. Pattern matching cannot detect every arbitrary secret.
- Only explicitly imported or approved conversations are available. Original export ZIPs and Claude Code transcripts are not modified.
- Selected results are sent to your MCP client. If that client uses a cloud model, the provider receives those passages under your account settings.
- The database is plaintext. Local filesystem access can expose its content. Revocation prevents new retrieval; it cannot recall prior model responses.

Default macOS storage is `~/Library/Application Support/ContextBridge`; Linux uses `$XDG_DATA_HOME/context-bridge` or `~/.local/share/context-bridge`. Run `context-bridge paths`, or set the same absolute `CONTEXT_BRIDGE_HOME` for imports and MCP. [Security policy and boundaries](SECURITY.md).

## Test it

```sh
PYTHONPATH=prototype python3 -m unittest discover -s prototype/tests -v
PYTHONPATH=prototype python3 prototype/benchmark.py --files 5000 --min-messages 2 --max-messages 40 --runs 30
```

The tests and benchmark use invented conversations. Model-dependent tests skip without optional local assets. The benchmark uses 5,000 conversation files with 2–40 messages each, imports/re-imports an actual synthetic provider export, and measures search including per-file freshness checks. Its p95 target is 300 ms. Import, re-import and first-server-query times are reported separately; results depend on hardware and workload. [Independent 0.6.0a2 re-test results](docs/RETEST-0.6.0a2.md). [Verification details](docs/MILESTONES.md).

## Distribution

The executable is `context-bridge`; the distribution name is **`context-bridge-local`**. The PyPI name `context-bridge` belongs to an unrelated project.

Run the package with uvx:

```sh
uvx --from context-bridge-local context-bridge mcp
```

Pin this beta when you need a reproducible version:

```sh
uvx --from 'context-bridge-local==0.7.0b2' context-bridge mcp
```

[Release and registry process](docs/RELEASING.md).

## Install from source

For contributors, run from the repository root:

```sh
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/python -m pip install -U pip
.venv/bin/python -m pip install .
```

## Contribute

Bug reports with small synthetic examples are especially useful. See [contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md), [architecture and SDK decision](docs/ARCHITECTURE.md), and [third-party notices](THIRD_PARTY.md).

Research is frozen while the import/search product ships. Historical model comparisons and claim-support work live under [research](research/README.md). The claim-support checker is not part of MCP search.
