README

knowledge-mcp

A personal MCP server that lets Claude (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, etc.) export knowledge and experience into a personal knowledge corpus — a folder of markdown files that acts as your knowledge base.

Entries are markdown files with YAML frontmatter (created/updated timestamps, tags, source), organized into category folders. Every write regenerates an index.md at the corpus root listing all entries by category.

Tools

Tool Purpose
save_knowledge Write an entry to <category>/<slug>.md. Modes: create (default, fails on collision), overwrite, append (adds a dated section).
list_knowledge List all entries grouped by category.
search_knowledge Case-insensitive text search with line snippets — use before saving to avoid duplicates.
read_knowledge Read one entry by relative path, e.g. projects/my-project.md.
reindex_knowledge Regenerate index.md manually.

Writes are confined to the knowledge base root — path traversal outside it is rejected. Only markdown files directly inside category folders (and the root) are indexed.

Setup

Requires uv. Install dependencies once:

cd /path/to/knowledge-mcp
uv sync

Claude Code

claude mcp add --scope user knowledge \
  --env KNOWLEDGE_MCP_ROOT=/path/to/your/Knowledge -- \
  uv run --directory /path/to/knowledge-mcp knowledge-mcp

(--scope user makes it available in every project; drop it for project-only.)

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or the equivalent on your platform:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "knowledge": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--directory",
        "/path/to/knowledge-mcp",
        "knowledge-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KNOWLEDGE_MCP_ROOT": "/path/to/your/Knowledge"
      }
    }
  }
}

Then restart Claude Desktop.

Configuration

Env var Default Purpose
KNOWLEDGE_MCP_ROOT ~/Documents/Personal/Notes/Knowledge Knowledge base root directory. Must already exist.
KNOWLEDGE_MCP_TITLE Knowledge Base Heading used for the generated index.md.

Manual run / smoke test

uv run knowledge-mcp   # starts the stdio server (Ctrl-C to stop)
