Pieces is a long-term memory layer for developers: it captures context from your workflow on-device and exposes it to any MCP-ready AI tool. Pro is $18.99/user/month; it complements, rather than replaces, a coding agent.
What is Pieces?
Pieces remembers snippets, links and work context across your IDE, browser and chats, then lets assistants like Claude Code or Cursor query that history via MCP.
Processing is designed to run on-device where possible.
