What it does

The server runs locally over STDIO and connects to MCP clients such as Claude Desktop or VS Code. It gives an agent 17 tools: six for notes (search, reading by Relay ID, address or folder, creating and replacing content), seven for folders (search, reading, creating, moving a note between folders, attaching a note to a folder), two for comments and replies, and two for groups and feeds. Note search takes filters for groups, folders, update dates, likers and the archive. Besides tools, the server has four ready prompts: review a note by address, search by topic, find related notes and reflect comments into the note text. Tool descriptions and prompt texts can be overridden with a JSON file mounted into the container.

Who it is for. Teams that keep an internal wiki in Kibela and want to search it and add notes from Claude Desktop or VS Code.

Example request

Find notes about the release process in Kibela from the last month and write a short memo from them, changing nothing in the wiki

Limitations

• Only a local STDIO run is available.
• Running needs Docker and a Kibela access token. The no-Docker option requires launching `bin/cli.mjs` by absolute path.
• Only a part of the public GraphQL API is implemented.
• The server works with one Kibela team, whose address is set by the `KIBELA_ORIGIN` variable.
• There are no tools for deleting notes or folders, but `update_kibela_note_content` replaces a note's content.
• The last commit in the repository dates from March 2026.

How to disable. Remove the `kibela` block from `claude_desktop_config.json` or another client settings file and restart the client. Revoke the access token on the tokens page in Kibela.

README in short

The page briefly introduces the server and its use cases, lists requirements and gives two configuration examples, with Docker and without. Most of it describes each tool's parameters and the four prompts, and the end explains description customization and the development setup.
