How do you stop AI coding tools from constantly losing context?

A developer discusses the challenge of AI coding tools losing context, describing a workflow involving Cursor for small edits, Claude Code for larger tasks, and Claude Projects for context organization. They note that manually managing context is difficult for teams and that Port.io aims to solve this by sharing and querying engineering context via MCP. The developer seeks to understand how other teams handle this issue, asking if they use markdown/project files, MCP, an internal catalog, or tolerate duplication.

This post uniquely details a developer's specific multi-tool workflow using Cursor, Claude Code, and Claude Projects to manage AI coding context, unlike general discussions of the problem.
