What is MindOS?

MindOS is a local-first knowledge base that lets AI agents read and write your Markdown notes via MCP. Think of it as persistent memory for your agents — stored on your own machine, in plain Markdown files. ## Quick Start ```bash # Install and start npm install -g @geminilight/mindos mindos onboard # interactive setup mindos start # starts app (port 3000) + MCP server (port 8787) Then add to your agent's MCP config: { "mcpServers": { "mindos": { "url": "http://localhost:8787/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer your-token" } } } } Available Tools (20) ┌─────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Tool │ Description │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_list_files │ List all files in the knowledge base │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_read_file │ Read file content (with pagination) │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_write_file │ Overwrite file content │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_create_file │ Create a new .md or .csv file │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_delete_file │ Delete a file │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_search_notes │ Full-text search across all files │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_get_recent │ Get recently modified files │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_append_to_file │ Append content to end of file │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_insert_after_heading │ Insert after a Markdown heading │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_update_section │ Replace a Markdown section │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_get_backlinks │ Find files referencing a given path │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_bootstrap │ Load startup context for agents │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ mindos_get_history │ Get git commit history for a file │ ├─────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────┤ │ ... │ (20 tools total) │ └─────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────┘ Supported Agents Claude Code · Cursor · Gemini CLI · Windsurf · Cline · and more
