Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Persistent local knowledge for AI coding agents with structured records, search, and DOT context.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • You fill in yourself: KILONOVA_KB_ROOT

You need

  • PyPIPython’s uv installed (for the uvx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kilonova": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "kilonova-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KILONOVA_KB_ROOT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add kilonova --env KILONOVA_KB_ROOT=your-value -- uvx kilonova-mcp

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kilonova": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "kilonova-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KILONOVA_KB_ROOT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "kilonova": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "kilonova-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KILONOVA_KB_ROOT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • KILONOVA_KB_ROOT env
    Directory where Kilonova stores local knowledge bases. Defaults to a platform-appropriate local path.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

Common questions

Is Kilonova MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 3 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Kilonova MCP

Persistent knowledge base tools for Claude Code. Claude remembers your projects, decisions, and patterns across sessions — stored on your machine, no cloud required.

Built by AIM Studio · Free · MIT License


The Problem

Every Claude Code session starts cold. You re-explain your project structure, re-describe decisions you made last week, re-state what's in flight. Context burns fast.

The Solution: DOT + KB

Kilonova gives Claude a persistent knowledge base on your local machine. At session start, Claude loads your DOT (Document of Truth) — a compressed, structured reference doc with your project state, active tasks, decisions, and patterns. During the session, Claude writes new discoveries back to the KB. Next session, it's all there.

Session 1: Claude learns your architecture → kb_write saves the decision

Session 2: dot_load → Claude already knows. No recap needed.


Install

pip install kilonova-mcp

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/MilnaOS/kilonova-mcp

cd kilonova-mcp pip install -e .

Wire Up Claude Code

Add to ~/.claude/settings.json:

{

"mcpServers": { "kilonova": { "command": "python", "args": ["-m", "kilonova_mcp"], "env": { "KILONOVA_KB_ROOT": "/path/to/your/kb" } } } }

Copy CLAUDE.md.template to ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (or append to your existing one).

Quick Start

1. Create your first KB topic:

In Claude Code, just start writing:

mcp__kilonova__kb_write(

topic="claude_context", entity_type="project_state", name="my-project", data={ "name": "my-project", "status": "active", "location": "/path/to/project", "summary": "What this project is", "next_action": "What to do next" } )

2. Load it next session:

mcp__kilonova__dot_load(topic="claude_context")

3. Search it:

mcp__kilonova__kb_search(topic="claude_context", query="authentication decision")

The DOT Format

A DOT is a plain text file with two sections:

---TOC---

1:Projects|1.1:My_Project 2:Active_Tasks 3:Decisions

---CARDS---

[1] PROJECTS

[1.1] My Project

STATUS: active NEXT: wire up the auth flow

The TOC lets Claude fetch only the section it needs. Cards hold the actual content.

See example_dot/ for a starter template.


Starter Schema: claude_context

Copy schemas/claude_context/ into your KB directory under /claude_context/schemas/:

Entity typeUse for
project_stateCurrent status, location, next action per project
decisionArchitectural choices with rationale
patternCode conventions, gotchas, file locations
active_taskIn-flight work across sessions
session_noteEnd-of-session summaries

Tools

ToolDescription
dot_load(topic)Load full DOT document into context
kb_search(topic, query)Search records by natural language query
kb_write(topic, entity_type, name, data)Write/update a record (merges with existing)
kb_load(topic, entity_type, name)Load one specific record
kb_topics()List all KB topics and record counts
kb_schema(topic, entity_type?)Show field schema for an entity type
corpus_status(topic)Show KB size and record counts
kb_backup(dry?)Mirror KB to OneDrive

Bring Your Own KB

Kilonova doesn't care what you store. Define your own schemas:

// kb/my_topic/schemas/component.json

{ "name": {"type": "string", "description": "Component name"}, "file": {"type": "string", "description": "Path to file"}, "purpose": {"type": "string", "description": "What it does"}, "dependencies": {"type": "array", "description": "What it depends on"} }

Then write records to it and search them naturally.
