What is llmwiki?
llmwiki is a free, open-source command-line tool that turns raw sources such as papers, notes, PDFs and web pages into an interlinked Markdown wiki. Based on Karpathy's LLM Wiki pattern, it keeps citations to the original text and lets you browse, query or share the result with agents over MCP.
