  • Advantages:

    • Local-first storage, keeping data in files you control.
    • Bi-directional communication with LLMs using familiar Markdown structures.
    • Low infrastructure requirements with local file indexing using a SQLite database.

  • Installation:

    • Install via uv or Smithery for automatic configuration.
    • Compatible with VS Code and Claude Desktop for enhanced functionality.

  • Functionalities:

    • Structured notes creation during conversations.
    • Semantic navigation of knowledge graphs with LLMs.
    • Real-time synchronization and knowledge graph traversal.
