MCPedia
A content-first knowledge base — readable as Markdown/MDX in Git, queryable by humans via a Web UI and by AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
MCPedia keeps content as plain Markdown files under content/. A Git-tracked
source of truth, indexed into PostgreSQL (metadata + a tsvector full-text
column) and served through a single Core layer that every interface
(Web, MCP) shares — no business logic duplicated per surface.

Architecture principle
Web ─┐
├──► Core ──► Repository (@mcpedia/db) ──► PostgreSQL
MCP ─┘
All interfaces go through @mcpedia/core. Nothing outside packages/db and
packages/core touches the database directly.
Quick start
bun install # install workspace deps
cp .env.example .env # set DATABASE_URL (dev uses imrnes Postgres :6432)
bunx turbo run build # typecheck + build every package
bun run index # walk content/ -> upsert into Postgres
bun --cwd apps/web run dev # Web UI on :3000
bun run mcp # MCP server on stdio (pipe to an MCP client)
Database
Phase 1 uses Postgres FTS only. Schema is defined in packages/db/src/schema.ts
(a documents table with a search_vector generated tsvector column + GIN
index). Apply it with:
bunx --cwd packages/db drizzle-kit push
Note: on imrnes (PgBouncer
:6432) a leakedDATABASE_URLshell var can shadow.env.@mcpedia/configloads.envlast so the repo config always wins for local/dev.
Content
Each Markdown file carries YAML frontmatter:
---
id: websocket-contract
title: WebSocket Contract
type: documentation
tags: [typescript, websocket, rpc]
status: published
author: asep
created_at: 2026-08-19
updated_at: 2026-08-19
---
slug = relative path under content/ (e.g. docs/websocket/contract). The
body shown in the UI is always read from the on-disk file (source of truth);
the DB stores metadata + the search vector.
MCP tools (Phase 1)
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
search_documents |
Postgres FTS over the corpus (ranked + snippet) |
get_document |
Full markdown body by slug |
list_documents |
List, optionally filtered by section |
get_related_documents |
Docs sharing tags with a given slug |
Smoke test (in-memory transport, real JSON-RPC):
bun --cwd apps/mcp run smoke
Status
Phase 1 — MVP (DONE): monorepo, Core, Web UI (home/doc/search), MCP server, Postgres FTS keyword search, content indexing.
See PHASES.md for Phase 2–4 (pgvector semantic/hybrid search, tRPC/Hono API,
auth, Redis/BullMQ background workers, revisions, scale-out).
