Context offloading: 3 patterns for AI agents
Context offloading keeps an AI agent's working context window small by moving state to a destination outside it. Three patterns, and what each one costs.
Context as a Service for Agents
Agents are only as good as
their context.
Drop-in context containers for all the agents you use and ship.

Containers
Context that holds together.
Each container is an isolated, permissioned environment for context, with its own database, MCP server, and API. Spin one up per person, team, project, or anything else. Every connected agent gets scoped access to only what it needs.

Private by default
Every container is locked down by default. Connected agents only see what they have been scoped to.
Optionally public
Flip a container to public for read-only access when sharing openly makes sense. Any agent can connect.
Spin up, swap, delete
Create a container in seconds. Delete it when it is no longer needed. Connect an agent to whichever container fits the work.
Context Flow
Add anything in. Access it everywhere.
Upload files, let agents write entries, or push data through the API. Wire processes everything automatically. Connect from any MCP client or use the REST API.

Agent writes
Agents write entries directly via MCP. Notes, structured data, and markdown, all tracked by source.
MCP + REST API
One URL per container for any MCP client. Full REST API for automations and pipelines.

Intelligence
Graphs, not a file dump.
Wire analyzes everything inside a container and builds connections across it. Semantic neighbors, related claims, entity links, composites, time. Agents pivot from any result through whichever edges fit the question.
Collaboration
One container, many connections.
A container is the meeting point. Connect as many agents and people to it as the work calls for, each with scoped access. Updates are live, so every connection sees the same context at the same time.
Privacy and security
Privacy is a substrate property
Anything an agent reads passes through Wire first. The substrate is built to make that path trustworthy as a property of the system, not as controls your code has to bolt on top.
Isolated
Every context container has its own storage and MCP endpoint. Containers do not share state. Credentials are scoped per container, and a single container can hold multiple scoped credentials for different agents or deployments. None of them escalate to other containers, other users, or org-wide access.
Permissioned
Each context container has its own policies. Credentials are scoped per container, with a per-credential tool allowlist on top. Your agent only ever sees the tools you granted, on the container the credential scopes to. Adding an agent to the loop does not loosen the controls that protect the source data; the scoped credential is the control.
Auditable
Two layers are on the record: credential-side activity (every action an agent takes through a scoped credential) and management-side activity (container creation, sharing, archival, member changes). You see exactly what was done, when, and on whose authority. Compliance evidence, incident response, and customer-facing transparency all come from the same trail.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about Wire.
Still have questions? Get in touchWhat is Wire?
Wire creates and manages composable context containers for AI agents. Add documents, structured data, or let agents write entries directly. Wire automatically organizes everything for AI consumption. Agents access context through MCP, so the same container works across every tool that speaks it.
How does it work?
Create a container for a project, team, or anything else an agent needs to know about. Add context through file uploads or let agents write entries directly. Wire organizes and structures everything into AI-optimized context. Connect from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool, or wire it into your own agent through the SDK.
What file types do you support?
Wire supports common document formats including PDF, Word documents, text files, markdown, CSV, JSON, and more. See the full list of supported file types.
What AI tools work with Wire?
Wire works with any AI tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol). This includes Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, and more. See setup guides for all supported tools.
What is a composable container?
Each container is an isolated, permissioned environment for context, with its own database, MCP server, and API. Wire organizes and structures whatever lives inside, so connected agents get scoped access without manual setup. Containers adapt to their content.
Can I share containers with my team?
Yes. Invite people to an organization to share containers, each with scoped access. The same container can also connect to many agents at the same time, so every connection, human or agent, works from the same context.
Can I use Wire in an agent I'm building?
Yes. The Wire SDK gives your agent a drop-in connect flow. The user authorizes once and the SDK hands back a scoped MCP endpoint and key. From there your agent reads and writes the container through MCP or the REST API. Builders and agencies use this to skip building a context layer for every agent or client. See Build with Wire, or the Agent Products and AI Agencies solution pages.
Is my data private?
Yes. All containers are private by default and only accessible to you and the team members you explicitly invite. We never share your data with third parties or use it to train AI models.
How does pricing work?
Every new organization gets 3,000 starter credits to try Wire. Pick a plan for monthly credits and the option to buy additional credit packs. All plans include unlimited containers, team members, and MCP access. See our pricing page for details.
From the blog
Context engineering, AI agents, and what we're learning.
Your MCP server is installed. Your agent isn't using it.
Connecting an MCP server is easy. Getting an agent to call its tools on the first relevant turn is where teams lose, and the cause is context.
Why 14 MCP CVEs trace back to one design choice
OX Security's April 2026 advisory traces 14 MCP CVEs and 200,000 exposed servers to a single design choice: STDIO as the default local transport.
