About the UCM

The Universal Context Manager (UCM) is the first Context Manager designed for Person and AI collaborative development. It brings surgical accuracy to development workflows by providing battle-tested, discoverable components and patterns.

🎯 Our Mission

Transform development from "hit and miss" to surgical precision by providing AI-native context management, proven patterns, and reusable components that work seamlessly between humans and AI.

Core Components

🏛️

Public Repository

The utaba/ public repository contains battle-tested guidance, patterns, and implementations available to everyone.

  • • Proven artifacts
  • • AI friendly patterns, such as the Micro-block pattern
  • • Development guidance and standards
  • • Ready-to-use implementations
🔒

Private Repositories

Your personal repository for storing team-specific guidance, custom patterns, and proprietary implementations.

  • • Store your team's patterns and AI Context Documents
  • • Create custom guidance
  • • Build your knowledge base
  • • Secure and private

Repository Structure

🔒

Your Private Repository

Personal knowledge base and team guidance

Your private repository (e.g., your-name/main/) is where you store team-specific guidance, custom patterns, and proprietary implementations.

🏗️ Store Your Guidance

  • • Team coding standards
  • • Project-specific patterns
  • • Architecture decisions
  • • Custom implementations

🤖 AI Integration

  • • AI reads your guidance automatically
  • • Context-aware development
  • • Consistent code generation
  • • Team knowledge sharing

Coming Soon: Advanced repository management, team collaboration, and enhanced private content features.

Namespace Path Structure

How UCM organizes and addresses content

Every artifact in UCM follows a hierarchical namespace pattern that makes content discoverable and organized:

{author}/{repository}/{category}/{subcategory}/{filename}@{version}
{author}

Your unique identifier (e.g., utaba, john-doe)

{repository}

Repository name (usually main)

{category}

Content type (e.g., patterns, guidance)

{subcategory}

Specific area (e.g., micro-block, auth)

{filename}

File with extension (e.g., README.md)

{version}

Semantic version (e.g., 1.0.0) - optional

Example Paths:

utaba/main/patterns/micro-block/README.md
your-name/main/guidance/api/standards.md@2.1.0

MCP Server Integration

Connect your AI assistants directly to UCM

What is the MCP Server?

The UCM MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server enables AI assistants to directly access and interact with UCM content. It provides seamless integration between your AI tools and the UCM repository system.

🔌 Easy Setup

  • • No installation required (uses npx)
  • • Works with Claude Desktop, Claude Code and other MCP capable AI assistants
  • • Copy-paste configuration
  • • Secure token authentication

⚡ Capabilities

  • • Browse and search artifacts
  • • Access guidance and patterns
  • • Manage your private repository
  • • Generate dynamic context guides

💡 Quick Start: Get your MCP server configuration from theAPI Keys pageafter creating your account.

API Keys & Authentication

Secure access to your UCM content

Your Digital Identity

Every UCM user gets a unique Author ID and secure authentication tokens for accessing both public and private content through AI assistants.

🆔 Author ID

Your unique identifier in the UCM system (e.g., john-doe-2024)

  • • Identifies your private repository namespace
  • • Used in all artifact paths and references
  • • Permanent and unique across UCM

🔐 Auth Tokens

Secure tokens that authenticate your AI assistants with UCM services

  • • Enable private repository access
  • • Secure and revocable
  • • Easy to regenerate if needed
  • • Required for MCP server connection

🚀 Get Started:Create your accountto get your Author ID and API keys, then visit theAPI Keys pagefor complete setup instructions.
