How does Atono keep context between Cursor sessions?

Atono stores context in three tabs on every story – Design decisions, Technical investigation, Technical changes. When Cursor retrieves a story via the Atono MCP server, it reads all three tabs automatically before acting. To get the most out of it, instruct Cursor to keep the tabs updated as work progresses – include the story ID (e.g. STORY-98) in your prompt so it knows which item to update. Each session inherits exactly what the last one left behind.

How does Atono work with Claude Code?

Claude Code connects to Atono via MCP and reads the story's AI context tabs before writing a single line. The key difference from a shared doc or CLAUDE.md is that context is attached to the specific story, not to a project-wide file. That means Claude Code gets only the context relevant to the task it's working on – token-light, story-specific, and always current.

What is an MCP server and how does Atono use it?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI coding agents connect to external tools and read context from them. Atono runs an MCP server that gives Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot and Windsurf direct access to your story's context tabs, product vocabulary and feature flags – all in the same conversation you're having about the code.

How is Atono different from just using a CLAUDE.md file?

A CLAUDE.md file is a static, manually maintained document scoped to the whole project – it doesn't update as decisions are made, doesn't travel with individual stories and doesn't scale past one engineer's workflow. Atono's AI context is attached to each story, written and updated by agents themselves via MCP, versioned with a full history, and readable by any MCP-compatible tool. It compounds rather than stales.

Does Atono work with GitHub Copilot and Windsurf?

Yes – Atono works with any MCP-compatible client including GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Cursor and Claude Code. Configure once and every tool your team uses gets access to the same story context, product vocabulary and attributed action history.

Atono is free for teams up to 25 users – no credit card required and no expiration. Paid plans add AI functionality and scale to any team size.

Your coding agent loses everything the moment a session ends. Atono keeps that context alive – so the next session picks up where the last one left off.

Talk to a human

Three agents, one story, nothing re-explained.

Mark runs engineering at Atono. His team runs Cursor, Claude, and Copilot – often on the same story. Atono keeps the context from every session attached to the story, so each agent reads what the last one decided before writing a single line. No duplicate work. No lost decisions.

Context that survives every session.

Atono attaches three persistent tabs to every story – Design decisions, Technical investigation, Technical changes. Each one captures a different layer: why a call was made, what was tried, what shipped. Every version is traceable, so you can see what each agent decided and when. Nothing gets lost between sessions.

Bring the tool your team already loves.

41 MCP tools. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf and any MCP-compatible client. Configure once and your editor talks to Atono in the same conversation you're already having about the code. Every action stays attributed to the person who triggered it – so ownership stays clear even when an agent did the work.

See how it all connects.
