Overview

contox_create_context creates a new context in the project. You can optionally set initial content and place it within the context hierarchy by specifying a parent context ID.

This is useful for manually organizing project knowledge outside the automatic session save workflow.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Default	Description
`name`	string	Yes	—	Context name
`description`	string	No	—	Optional description of the context
`content`	string	No	—	Optional initial content in markdown
`parentContextId`	string	No	—	Optional parent context ID to place this context in a hierarchy

Return value

Returns a confirmation message with the created context's name and ID:

Context created: My Custom Context (ctx_xyz789)

Usage examples

Creating a standalone context

User: Create a context for our API design decisions

Claude calls: contox_create_context({
  name: "API Design Notes",
  description: "Design decisions and patterns for the REST API",
  content: "## Pagination\nAll list endpoints use cursor-based pagination with `after` and `limit` parameters."
})

Creating a child context

Claude calls: contox_create_context({
  name: "Authentication Flow",
  description: "Detailed auth flow documentation",
  content: "## OAuth2 Flow\n...",
  parentContextId: "ctx_abc123"
})

Notes

The context is created first, then the content is set in a separate API call if provided.
The context is automatically associated with the current project and team.
For batch creation of structured contexts, consider using contox_populate instead.
