What is this?
PowerContext is a self-hosted context service from the OceanBase team. It keeps decisions, evidence, and task state together with the project, so you or another agent can pick the work up in a later session.

Basic memory works with no extra model APIs.

If Python dependency downloads are slow or fail, the README has mirror retry instructions.

If Python dependency downloads are slow or fail, the README has mirror retry instructions.Can the Server run on a different machine from my agent?Yes. For a Server on another machine use HTTPS or the remote connection guide; remote plain-HTTP URLs require explicit consent, and automated setup can pass --allow-insecure-http.
Yes. For a Server on another machine use HTTPS or the remote connection guide; remote plain-HTTP URLs require explicit consent, and automated setup can pass --allow-insecure-http.Where does the context data live?In the Server you run yourself: the wizard asks whether storage and access are local or remote, and remote connections go over HTTPS with explicit consent.

A Handoff packages the current objective and state so the next person or agent can continue without rereading the full history. Every item stays scoped to its work and keeps its sources and earlier revisions.

Every item stays scoped to its work and keeps its sources and earlier revisions.Is there a walkthrough for learning the workflow?Yes — 22 Jupyter tutorials (in Chinese) plus a complete team workflow that runs Memory, context preparation, Handoff, Experience, Skill, and a real agent step by step. The first seven tutorials need no model or API key.

The 1.1.0 release includes the guided setup wizard.
