# Introduction

> Switch IDEs without losing your AI conversation context

# Welcome to swAItch

**swAItch** is an open-source [MCP server](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) that makes your AI conversations portable across coding assistants.

## The Problem

You're deep in a conversation with your AI assistant — you've discussed architecture, iterated on a plan, debugged a tricky issue. Now you want to switch IDEs. But all that context? **Gone.**

## The Solution

swAItch reads conversation history from your installed IDEs and exposes it through MCP tools. Any MCP-compatible client can call these tools to retrieve conversations from another IDE — complete with messages, artifacts, plans, and walkthroughs.

```
Your previous IDE → swAItch (MCP Server) → Your current IDE
```
