What is a Context Container?

A portable, shareable unit of organized context (documents, data, and structured information) made accessible to AI agents through MCP tools.

A context container in Wire holds your files and structured data, automatically processes them into AI-optimized format, and exposes them via built-in MCP tools (explore, search, write, delete, analyze). Containers are private by default, can be shared with teams, and work across any MCP-compatible AI tool.
