x1pm + Aider
Persistent project context for AI pair programming
The problem
Aider works in-session but doesn't maintain project-level context. You re-explain conventions and decisions each time.
Setup
Up and running in under 2 minutes.
1
Get your API key from x1pm
Sign up at x1pm.com and generate an API key from your organization settings.
2
Configure Aider with HTTP MCP
Configure Aider to connect to x1pm's HTTP MCP server. Check Aider's documentation for current MCP configuration options.
# x1pm HTTP MCP server details:
{
"type": "http",
"url": "https://x1pm.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
},
"tools": ["healthCheck", "read", "write", "edit", "multiEdit", "ls", "glob", "grep"]
}3
Create your workspace files
Add context files that Aider reads for project understanding.
What you get
- Aider reads architecture decisions before making changes
- Coding standards persist across sessions
- Share context between Aider and other agents
- Lightweight — just markdown and CSV files
