aik-mcp turns a directory of Markdown files into a live, queryable knowledge base for any MCP-compatible AI agent — opencode, Claude Code, Cline, Codex, GitHub Copilot, and more.
Write your team's conventions, reusable workflows, and agent prompts as plain .md files with YAML frontmatter. aik-mcp serves them on demand — your agent can discover, read, search, and install them at runtime, across any project.
No database. No API to build. Just Markdown.
| Icon | Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 📝 | Knowledge as Markdown | Plain .md files with frontmatter. Version them with git. Review them in PRs. |
| ⚡ | Zero config | npx aik-mcp runs immediately. Point it at a folder of Markdown files. Done. |
| 🔎 | Full-text search | Fuzzy search across every rule, skill, and template — powered by Fuse.js. |
| 📦 | Install on demand | Push knowledge directly into your agent's runtime config with a single tool call. |
| 👀 | Live sync | A file watcher detects changes instantly. No restart. No downtime. |
| 🔌 | Universal MCP | Works with opencode, Claude Code, Cline, Codex, Copilot, and any MCP-compatible client. |

## TypeScript Conventions
- Use explicit types for public API surfaces
- Prefer `interface` over `type` for object shapes
- Use `const` assertions for literal values
EOFAIK_CONTENT_DIR=./my-knowledge npx aik-mcp"Find and apply the TypeScript conventions rule for this project."Your agent calls aik_search, reads the rule, and applies it — all transparently through MCP.

## MCP servers
aik-mcp provides knowledge management. Use `aik_list`, `aik_get`, `aik_search`, `aik_install`, and related tools to manage rules, skills, workflows, and agents.Tip: Set AIK_CONTENT_DIR to a shared path (Dropbox, git repo, team NAS, etc.) to use the same knowledge base across projects and agents.Content items are organized by category as bundles — a directory with a README.md entry file plus optional supporting assets:
| Directory | Purpose |
|---|---|
rules/ | Coding standards, conventions, quality gates |
skills/ | Reusable instruction blocks (prompts, recipes) |
workflows/ | Multi-step process definitions |
agents/ | Specialized agent configurations |
content/
skills/generate-changelog/
README.md # entry file — carries the frontmatter
assets/changelog.mjs # supporting asset, referenced relativelyThe README.md entry file is a Markdown document with YAML frontmatter:
