How do teams share AI agent context?

Share one ReadmeDB API key (or project namespace) across teammates’ MCP configs. Agents read and write the same decisions.md and open-tasks.md. Prefer durable facts over dumping full chat transcripts.

Is a shared dump of agent chats enough?

Usually no. Teams need curated, enforceable project truth — decisions, constraints, open work — that agents are instructed to read. Raw transcripts overwhelm humans and models. ReadmeDB stores the curated markdown brain; version history helps when something was wrong.

For teams

One project brain — every teammate’s agent on the same page

Each of you sparred with your own coding agent. Later you call a cofounder to explain why the code looks that way. ReadmeDB is the shared markdown brain their agents will actually read — decisions written down once, updated across Cursor and Claude.

The multiplayer agent problem

Local CLAUDE.md / Cursor rules don’t sync tribal mid-sprint decisions
Chat memory products don’t give you a reviewable decisions.md
Git-only wikis go stale unless agents are hooked to write them

How teams use ReadmeDB

1. One namespace per product

Share an API key (or create per-person keys on Pro and point them at the same project workflow). Every MCP client hits the same files.

2. Curate, don’t dump

Instruct agents to append outcomes to decisions.md and keep open-tasks.md current — not to upload every transcript. Humans can still open the files in the dashboard.

3. Version when it matters

Bad agent edits happen. ReadmeDB keeps snapshots so you can see what changed — critical when shared write access is on.

What to store together

Architecture decisions and abandoned approaches (with “why not”)
Open tasks and owners for the next agent session
Stack constraints (“Postgres only”, “don’t touch billing”)
Onboarding notes new agents must read before coding

Keep secrets out of the brain — same rule as committing to git.

Team MCP config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "readmedb": {
      "url": "https://app.readmedb.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer rdb_your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Free tier is enough to try with a small team. Pro (£5/mo) unlocks unlimited files, storage, and keys when you scale.
