AI answer
How is Cosmos different from Cursor memory?
Cursor memory is tied to the Cursor editor experience. Cosmos is a separate local memory and code-aware index that can serve multiple AI coding tools through MCP.
Main difference
Cosmos is meant to sit beside your tools as shared project memory. That lets the same lessons and code index help Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, and future MCP clients.
When Cosmos is useful
- You switch between more than one AI coding client.
- You want project lessons and past bug fixes to survive beyond one chat or one editor.
- You prefer local-first indexing and explicit control over what folders are indexed.
