What is the Atlas MCP Server?

Self-hosted git-native knowledge base with an MCP endpoint your AI reads, writes and rewinds

What the server does

Notion, and every hosted notes app, ask you to pour your thinking into their structure, on their servers, in their format. You rent the space; they hold the keys. Atlas Mind inverts that: your knowledge is plain files in your own git repository, served by an engine you can read line by line and throw away without losing a single note. Your AI comes to your library through an open protocol; it never pulls your brain into its own.

  • Reading — GitHub-flavoured Markdown (TOC, syntax highlighting, reading time, tag bar), inline preview of standalone HTML decks/dashboards, PDF, and .docx (converted in-browser, read-only). Download any file as its original
  • Navigation — collapsible tree, full-text search (server-side online, fuzzy MiniSearch offline), [[wikilinks]] + backlinks + "same subject", folder/frontmatter tags, mind-wide task rollup, command palette (Ctrl-K), pinned and recent docs
  • The Mind — a force-directed mind palace where every document and tag is a navigable node, colour-grouped by folder, recent nodes glowing, orphans dimmed
  • Editing — create / edit / rename / move / delete from the viewer (moving rewrites the wikilinks pointing at a doc), document templates, interactive task checkboxes, a categorised todos widget
  • History — every document git-versioned, with a revision list, clean diffs, view/restore of past versions (restore is a new commit), renames and moves followed
  • Inbox — a per-person triage lane on the home for the items your agents staged via MCP. One focused card at a time; keep (filed to a suggested folder and tags), trash or snooze, by click or keyboard (K / X / S / J)
