Mode Manager MCP: Server for managing VS Code .chatmode.md and .instructions.md files (GitHub Copilot prompts)

GitHub Copilot Memory Tool

Finally, Copilot that actually remembers you.

Perfect timing for 2025: VS Code now loads instructions with every message. This tool gives Copilot persistent memory across all your conversations.

Why This Matters Now

2025 Game Changer: VS Code's new behavior loads custom instructions with every chat request (not just session start). This means:

• Your memories are ALWAYS active in every conversation
• No more repeating context when you start new chats
• Copilot truly knows you across sessions, topics, and projects
• Perfect timing - built for the new instruction loading behavior

See It In Action

Before this tool:

"Hey Copilot, write me a Python function..."
Copilot: Gives generic Python code

After using remember:

You: "Remember I'm a senior data architect at Oatly, prefer type hints, and use Black formatting"
Next conversation: "Write me a Python function..."
Copilot: Generates perfectly styled code with type hints, following your exact preferences

Dead Simple to Use

One command does everything:

Ask Copilot: "Remember that I prefer detailed docstrings and use pytest for testing"

That's it. Copilot now knows this forever, across all future conversations.

What You Can Remember:

• Work context - Your role, company, current projects
• Coding preferences - Languages, frameworks, style guides
• Project details - Architecture decisions, naming conventions
• Personal workflow - How you like to work, debug, test

How It Works Behind the Scenes

1. Auto-setup - Creates memory.instructions.md in your VS Code prompts directory on first use
2. Smart storage - Each memory gets timestamped and organized
3. Always loaded - VS Code's 2025 behavior means your memories are included in every chat request
4. Cross-session persistence - Your memories survive VS Code restarts and new conversations

Bonus Features

Beyond memory, this tool also manages your VS Code prompt ecosystem:

• Curated library - 20+ professional chatmodes and instructions
• File management - Create, edit, and organize .chatmode.md and .instructions.md files
• Stay updated - Update files from source while keeping your customizations

Get It Running (2 Minutes)

1. Install from PyPI

pip install mode-manager-mcp

2. Add to VS Code

Add this to your VS Code MCP settings (mcp.json):

{
  "servers": {
    "mode-manager": {
      "command": "mode-manager-mcp"
    }
  }
}

That's it! Start chatting with Copilot and use: "Remember that..."

Perfect Timing for 2025

This tool is built specifically for VS Code's new behavior where custom instructions load with every chat message. This makes persistent memory incredibly powerful - your memories are always active, no matter what topic you're discussing.
