Notes Vault MCP

A self-hosted MCP server that provides indexed search, schema-checked writes, and session hooks for a markdown notes vault. It allows coding agents to search, read, and write notes stored as plain markdown files in a folder or S3 bucket, ensuring data integrity through schema validation and linking notes to git history for context awareness.
