Overview

AI-generated overview

Local MCP server that lets an assistant search, read, explore and cite a bundled XKnow knowledge base on SEO, SaaS and LLM-wiki topics.

What you can do
  • Search the knowledge base and get ranked titles, snippets and URLs
  • Read the full text of a note by title or slug, with wikilinks preserved
  • Explore a concept through its outbound links and backlinks in the knowledge graph
  • List all notes grouped by section (seo, saas, blog)
  • Retrieve the XKnow SEO/SaaS content self-check rubric with priorities, reasoning and fixes
  • Get the canonical citation (title, description, URL) for a note
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to answer SEO, SaaS or LLM-wiki questions from a curated, source-backed corpus and cite the notes it used, or to follow cross-links between topics instead of getting a flat result list. Also handy for checking content against the XKnow self-check rubric.
Requirements
Runs locally over stdio via npx, so Node.js is needed. No account, API key or network access is required for the free layer. Full-vault mode needs a purchased XKnow vault folder, passed with the --vault argument or the XKNOW_VAULT environment variable.
Before you install
The free layer is a static snapshot of public guides bundled with the package, so it is not live data. Full-vault mode reads a local Markdown folder; keep that path private if the notes are purchased content. The package is fetched and run through npx, so review the package before installing.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open XKnow Knowledge Base in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

An MCP server for the XKnow Knowledge Base — a curated, cross-linked body of SEO, SaaS, and LLM-wiki knowledge. Give any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, Cline, opencode, and others) the ability to search and cite it.

  • Local and private. Runs on your machine over stdio. No server, no account, no API key.
  • Static data. The free layer is a snapshot of the public XKnow guides, bundled with the package. Nothing is fetched at query time.
  • Graph-aware. Beyond keyword search, explore_concept walks the cross-links between notes, so an agent can follow a topic instead of getting a flat list.

Quick start

Add it to your MCP client.

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, Cline, and most clients:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "xknow": {      "command": "npx",      "args": ["-y", "xknow-mcp"]    }  }}

Claude Code

bash
claude mcp add xknow -- npx -y xknow-mcp

opencode (opencode.json)

json
{  "mcp": {    "xknow": { "type": "local", "command": ["npx", "-y", "xknow-mcp"], "enabled": true }  }}

Then ask your agent something like:

"Use the xknow tools to explain keyword difficulty and cite the source." "Search XKnow for SaaS pricing models and summarise the trade-offs."

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_knowledgeRanked search over the knowledge base. Returns titles, snippets, and URLs.
get_pageFull text of one note by title or slug (preserves [[wikilinks]]).
explore_conceptA note plus its outbound links and backlinks — walks the knowledge graph.
list_topicsLists every note grouped by section (seo, saas, blog).
lint_rulesThe XKnow SEO/SaaS content self-check rubric — each rule with priority (P0–P3), reasoning, fix, and the knowledge-base notes that back it.
citeReturns the canonical citation (title, description, URL) for a note.

Two knowledge layers

LayerContentHow
Free (default)The 57 public XKnow guides and blog postsBundled snapshot — just npx -y xknow-mcp
Full vaultYour purchased XKnow Knowledge Base (500+ linked notes)npx -y xknow-mcp --vault /path/to/SEO-SaaS-Vault

The full-vault mode reads a local folder of Markdown notes, so your purchased copy never leaves your machine. Set it once with the XKNOW_VAULT environment variable if you prefer:

bash
export XKNOW_VAULT="/path/to/SEO-SaaS-Vault"npx -y xknow-mcp

How it works

xknow-mcp is a Node.js stdio server. The free layer is a static JSON snapshot generated from the public site and bundled in the package (data/knowledge.json); search is a small, dependency-free ranking pass over the bundled notes. Vault mode parses Markdown notes from a local folder on the fly. No network calls, no vector database, no telemetry.

Development

bash
npm installnpm run build:data   # refresh data/knowledge.json from https://xknow.org/mcp/knowledge.jsonnpm run build        # tscnpm run smoke        # exercise every tool over a real stdio connection
# also test against a local vaultSMOKE_VAULT=/path/to/SEO-SaaS-Vault npm run smoke
