Claude Code carries context across sessions through CLAUDE.md and auto memory. Daiton adds a shared company knowledge layer over MCP for teams using several agents. Start with native memory, then consider Daiton when decisions need to travel between tools with their sources attached.
Native memory details checked September 11, 2026. Claude Code memory documentation. Features and availability can change.
Claude Code provides CLAUDE.md + auto memory. Check its scope before adding another service:
Daiton connects company knowledge to Claude Code over MCP. Confirm your client supports the required connection and agree which sources the agent can access:
| Compare | Native | With Daiton |
|---|---|---|
| Persists across sessions | Yes, instructions and auto memory | Shared company memory |
| Sharing across tools | Depends on your workflow | Across connected, authorized agents |
| Sources and corrections | Editable local notes | Source-linked facts and corrections |
| Setup | CLAUDE.md + auto memory | MCP connection and access configuration |
Yes. CLAUDE.md and auto memory carry context across sessions. Auto memory saves notes locally and is shared across worktrees of the same repository. Daiton is an additional option for sharing sourced company context across different agents.
No. Try Claude Code's native memory first. Consider Daiton if your team also needs company context from other tools or a shared place to correct facts. Confirm the sources and permissions needed during the pilot.
Both tools can connect to Daiton's MCP server. Agree which company sources and write actions each agent can access, then test that a decision saved from one tool is retrieved correctly in the other.

Use the pilot to test shared context against the questions your team actually needs to answer.
