What is Context Portability?

The ability to use the same context across multiple AI tools and applications without re-uploading or re-configuring.

Context portability means your research notes, company documents, or project files aren't locked into a single AI tool. With Wire, you create a container once and connect it to Claude, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP-compatible tool. Your context follows you.
