Common questions

Is Ambient Context MCP safe?

It passed 2 of 2 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 2 months ago, and the latest version (0.7.1) reached the registry 5 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Ambient Context MCP

en | ja

Windows のローカル ambient context (在席状態、フォアグラウンドアプリ種別、バッテリ、電源イベント、システム負荷、長時間作業の検知など) を、プライバシー分類された MCP ツールとして任意の AI クライアント (Claude Code、Claude Desktop 等) に公開するトレイ常駐プロセスです。

特徴

  • ローカル完結: 127.0.0.1 のみで待ち受け、外部送信は一切なし
  • 既定 OFF: 機微度 medium / high の情報は明示的に opt-in しない限り送信されない
  • 小さいフットプリント: タスクトレイ常駐の単一プロセス
  • MCP Streamable HTTP: http://127.0.0.1:37690/mcp で公開、Bearer トークン必須
  • プライバシー診断ツール: ambient_context_get_policy で「なぜこの値が出力されないか」をクライアントから自己診断可能

公開する 4 ツール

ツール説明
ambient_context_get_states現在のコンテキスト状態 (presence, battery, フォアグラウンドアプリ種別 等)
ambient_context_poll_eventsクライアント別カーソル以降の未読イベント (user_returned, ac_power_connected 等)
ambient_context_describe_events全イベントの payload スキーマカタログ (sensitivity / 説明 / 例値、実データは含まない)
ambient_context_get_policy機微度分類と有効送信可否の診断情報 (実データは含まない)

クイックスタート

A. Claude Desktop (MCPB バンドル)

Releases から ambient-context-mcp-vX.Y.Z.mcpb をダウンロードし、Claude Desktop の設定 → 拡張機能 からインストールしてください。インストール後、Claude Desktop が tray を自動 spawn してツールが使えるようになります。

tray は単一 LocalContextHub を保つために 1 プロセスのみ常駐します。MCPB はトレイ未起動時のみ spawn し、起動済みなら既存の tray にぶら下がります。

B. Claude Code / その他クライアント (Streamable HTTP)

アーカイブ版 (ambient-context-mcp-vX.Y.Z-win-x64.zip) を展開し、ambient-mcp.exe を実行してください。

  1. アプリ起動 → タスクトレイに [●] Ambient Context MCP — :37690 が表示
  2. トレイクリック → 設定ダイアログが開く
  3. 「送信設定」タブで公開して構わない context にチェック → 保存
  4. トレイメニュー → 「Claude Code 用設定をコピー」
  5. 任意のターミナルでペースト
claude mcp add ambient-context \

--transport http http://127.0.0.1:37690/mcp \ --header "Authorization: Bearer "

  1. Claude Code から ambient_context_get_states などが呼べます
