Team Setup

Set up your team.

Invite team members, assign roles, and share context across your organization. Team workspaces let everyone's AI assistants access shared memory and decisions.

How it works

Workspace, members, shared projects.

Workspace

Your team's shared container.

Team members

Invite colleagues with roles.

Shared projects

Everyone accesses the same context.

When you invite team members to a workspace, they can use ContextStream tools in their own AI editors and share the same project memory. Decisions captured by one team member are visible to everyone.

Onboarding

Six steps to a connected team.

Step 01

Create or select a workspace

If you don't have a workspace yet, create one. This will be your team's shared container for projects and context.

Tip:Use a descriptive name like “Acme Engineering” or “Product Team” so members know which workspace to join.

Step 02

Invite team members

Go to your workspace's Settings → Team page to invite members:

  1. 1.Click Invite Member
  2. 2.Enter their email address
  3. 3.Select a role (Admin, Member, or Viewer)
  4. 4.They'll receive an email invitation

Invited members will receive an email with a link to accept the invitation. If they don't have a ContextStream account, they'll be prompted to create one.

Step 03

Accept the invitation

When invited, members receive an email with a prominent Accept Invitation button. Clicking it will:

  • Log them in (or prompt signup if new)
  • Add them to the workspace with their assigned role
  • Redirect them to the workspace dashboard

Step 04

Select the workspace

Once a member joins, they can switch between workspaces using the workspace selector in the dashboard sidebar. Each workspace has its own projects and context.

Step 05

Install MCP in their editor

Each team member needs to configure the ContextStream MCP server in their AI editor. The easiest way is to run the setup wizard.

terminal · macOS / linux
curl -fsSL https://contextstream.io/scripts/mcp.sh | bash
powershell · windows
irm https://contextstream.io/scripts/mcp.ps1 | iex
Alternative: npx (requires Node.js 18+)
terminal · npx
contextstream-mcp setup

The wizard will authenticate them and configure their editor (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, etc.) to use the team workspace.

Step 06

Start using shared context

Now everyone on the team can:

  • Access the same project memory and decisions
  • Capture decisions that the whole team can recall
  • Search shared context across all projects
  • Use knowledge graphs to understand relationships

Roles

Member roles

Each workspace member has a role that determines their permissions.
