What is knowledge-base-server?

knowledge-base-server gives AI agents a shared, persistent memory. It ingests your Obsidian vault, code, documents, web clippings and other sources, classifies and summarises them, and serves the results through an MCP server and REST API, so Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other MCP clients can use the same knowledge across sessions. It uses SQLite full-text search with optional embeddings and has a web dashboard. It is free and open source under the MIT licence.
