Introduction to BigRack

What is BigRack?

BigRack.dev is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that extends AI development tools like Claude Code and Cursor with advanced task management and persistent context capabilities.

By combining business context management and robust task planning, BigRack helps AI assistants maintain consistency and quality on complex projects.

Why does BigRack exist?

AI assistants like Claude Code are powerful, but face major limitations on complex projects:

  • Progressive context loss: Details mentioned at the beginning are forgotten
  • Insufficient planning: Difficulty with complex tasks and their dependencies
  • Premature simplification: Missing edge cases and important validations
  • Forgotten business rules: Business constraints disappear during conversations

BigRack solves these problems by providing a structured persistent context that AI can always consult.

Overview

BigRack works as a local MCP server that integrates with Claude Code, Cursor, and other AI assistants via the Model Context Protocol.

Key features:

  • Repos and Projects: Organize your context by business domain (Repo) and specific work units (Project)
  • Persistent Business Context: Store business rules, glossaries, architectural patterns, and team conventions
  • Intelligent Planning: Decompose complex features into atomic tickets with dependencies (DAG)
  • Semantic Search: Find relevant context with natural language queries using vector embeddings
  • Local-First: All data stored locally with SQLite and embedded vector search

BigRack is open-source (Apache License 2.0) and runs entirely on your local machine.
