<!-- mcp-name: io.github.mlorentedev/hive-vault -->

Your AI coding assistant forgets everything between sessions. Hive fixes that.

Hive is an MCP server that connects your AI assistant to an Obsidian vault. Instead of loading everything upfront, it queries only what's needed — on demand.

Measured on a real vault with 19 projects, 200+ files. See benchmarks.

Quick Start

Hive runs without a vault — vault tools return a friendly error until VAULT_PATH is set, so you can install first and configure later.

# Minimal — uses default vault path ~/Projects/knowledge
claude mcp add -s user hive -- uvx --upgrade hive-vault

# With a custom vault path
claude mcp add -s user hive -e VAULT_PATH=$HOME/path/to/vault -- uvx --upgrade hive-vault

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add -s user -e VAULT_PATH=$HOME/path/to/vault hive-vault uvx -- --upgrade hive-vault

Default vault path: ~/Projects/knowledge. Override with VAULTPATH (or HIVEVAULT_PATH) as shown above.

For Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients, see Getting Started.

Then ask your assistant: "Use vaultlist to see my vault"*

Requirements

Hive degrades gracefully — every recommended or optional dependency reveals more capability without breaking the baseline.

  • Required
  • Python 3.12+ (works on 3.13).
  • A directory of markdown files. The vault structure used by 00meta / 10projects / 50work / 80agents is optional — without it, vault tools still operate but the scope routing is flat.
  • Recommended
  • git initialised inside the vault. Without it, vaultwrite / vaultpatch still write to disk; they just skip the per-write commit (and vault_commit reports the working tree as untracked).
  • The Obsidian desktop app to author the vault by hand.
  • The obsidian-git plugin with auto-commit set to 5–10 minutes. Pair it with vaultwrite(commit=False) / vaultpatch(commit=False) to push the git workload off the synchronous tool path; see Recommended configuration below.
  • Optional
  • Ollama running qwen2.5-coder:7b (or compatible) for local, free delegatetask / capturelesson worker calls.
  • An OpenRouter API key (OPENROUTERAPIKEY) as a free-tier and paid fallback worker.
  • A backup git remote (e.g. private GitHub repo) so vault history survives a disk loss.

Recommended configuration

Per ADR-006 (commit policy), the recommended pairing for write-heavy flows is:
