VIVATLAS MCP server

VIVATLAS

You collect tools. Skills for Claude, agents, MCP servers, a scraper you starred at midnight, a design kit somebody linked on Reddit. They end up scattered across GitHub stars, a self-hosted Gitea, browser bookmarks and a notes app — and three months later you remember there was a thing for that and can't find it.

VIVATLAS is the shelf. Point it at your repositories and the links you clip, and it turns each one into a card: a name, a description written for a person rather than a compiler, a picture, tags. Then it puts them all in one place you can search by meaning, not just by name. Ask it for "something that audits a site for accessibility" and it hands you three candidates and tells you why.

It runs on your own machine — a NAS, a spare box, a laptop — it's built for more than one person, and it only ever reads. Public repositories in, nothing written back to Git, ever.

What it does for you

Every card has a face

Nobody browses a wall of grey rectangles. VIVATLAS finds each project's own picture — the banner at the top of its README, a logo in the repo, or the card GitHub draws for it — and throws out the things that only look like pictures: build badges, sponsor logos, "buy me a coffee" buttons, the owner's avatar. When a project has several real candidates, the same AI that writes the description looks at them side by side and picks the one that actually shows the thing.

And when a project has nothing at all, VIVATLAS draws a cover itself — the name set in the house typeface on a colour and a pattern that come from the name, so every cover is different and they all belong together. No model, no cost, never grey.

A card, up close

Open one and you get the same project three ways: a one-liner, a paragraph for a person, and a technical note for when you're deciding whether to use it. Tags with their confidence, what it's for, where it came from and when it last changed — and the buttons to rescan it, file it, or copy the link. The descriptions are written by whichever AI you've configured, from the repository's own README.

Search the way you'd ask a colleague

Two indexes work together: full-text for words, vectors for meaning. Type in Russian and find an English tool. Describe a task instead of naming a tool, and the recommender returns three options with a sentence each on why — or an honest "nothing here fits", which is rarer in software than it should be.

Clip from anywhere

• Browser extension (Chrome and friends): the page you're on, or a pasted link, into your catalogue in one click, public or private. → extension/README.md
• Android app: Share → VIVATLAS from any app. A small sheet shows what you're saving and lets you choose private or public before it goes. Signs in by scanning a QR from a browser that's already signed in, so a long password never meets a phone keyboard. → android/README.md
• The web form: a link, a site, a screenshot or a reel → candidates with stars → pick → import.

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
