Kybase MCP

A self-hosted MCP server that provides AI agents with persistent, searchable Markdown memory. It allows agents to read, write, and search notes using hybrid search, while users can manage the same knowledge base via a web interface. It supports multiple agents sharing one vault and ensures data privacy by running locally or on user-controlled infrastructure.
