How to make your MCP clients (Cursor, Windsurf...) share context with each other
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1kq8pro/how_to_make_your_mcp_clients_cursor_windsurf/

<!-- SC_OFF -->With all this recent hype around MCP, I still feel like missing out when working with different MCP clients (especially in terms of context). I was looking for a personal, portable LLM “memory layer” that lives locally on my system, with complete control over the data. That’s when I found OpenMemory MCP (open source) by Mem0, which plugs into any MCP client (like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Cline) over SSE and adds a private, vector-backed memory layer. Under the hood: - stores and recalls arbitrary chunks of text (memories) across sessions
- uses a vector store (Qdrant) to perform relevance-based retrieval
- runs fully on your infrastructure (Docker + Postgres + Qdrant) with no data sent outside
- includes a next.js dashboard to show who’s reading/writing memories and a history of state changes
- Provides four standard memory operations (add_memories, search_memory, list_memories, delete_all_memories) So I analyzed the complete codebase (https://github.com/mem0ai/mem0/tree/main/openmemory) and created a free guide (https://medium.com/gitconnected/how-to-make-your-clients-more-context-aware-with-openmemory-mcp-60057bcc24a3) to explain all the stuff in a simple way. Covered the following topics in detail. What OpenMemory MCP Server is and why does it matter? How it works (the basic flow). Step-by-step guide to set up and run OpenMemory. Features available in the dashboard and what’s happening behind the UI. Security, Access control and Architecture overview. Practical use cases with examples. Would love your feedback, especially if there’s anything important I have missed or misunderstood. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/anmolbaranwal (https://www.reddit.com/user/anmolbaranwal)

Any alternative to SMS parsing on iOS for extracting periodic transactional data?
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1kq9f14/any_alternative_to_sms_parsing_on_ios_for/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hey folks, I'm curious if anyone has found reliable alternatives to SMS parsing on iOS for fetching time-based, transactional or notification-style data. I know iOS restricts direct SMS access, but wondering if there are workarounds people use—email parsing, notification listeners, or anything else? Not trying to do anything shady—just looking to understand what's possible within the iOS ecosystem, ideally in a way that’s privacy-compliant. Would appreciate any insights or resources! <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Due-Hunter-2931 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Due-Hunter-2931)
