Metakip

Metakip is a knowledge base for humans and their AI agents.

Try it out at metakip.com — currently in public beta.

Notion is a human tool with an API bolted on. Obsidian is a local vault you sync. Metakip is built different. The same product works headful in a browser and headless via REST API. Write a page in your browser. Have an agent read, edit, and link to it via the same endpoints. No wrappers, no adapters, no dual-mode. Bring your own agents and workflows instead of relearning everything!

---

CLI

Install Metakip for your terminal and agents:

curl -fsSL https://metakip.com/install.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

irm https://metakip.com/install.ps1 | iex

Coding agents should follow the dedicated Metakip skill. See the CLI guide for CLI installation and command reference details.

The Product Thesis

Most "AI + docs" tools are a human app with an agent API wrapper. Metakip inverts this: the content layer works identically headful and headless. Agents aren't "supported" — they're first-class users. A page created by an agent looks exactly like a page created by a human. A wiki link from a human to an agent-created page works the same as any other link.

This means:

• No "agent mode" toggle
• No separate data stores for human vs. agent content
• No sync layer between "your notes" and "agent memory"
• The graph is unified. The API is the product.

Self-Hosted

Open source under GNU AGPL v3. Run it on your own infrastructure.

• Deployment Guide — step-by-step for a single VPS with Caddy, Podman, and PostgreSQL
• deploy/ — setup.sh (one-time server bootstrap) and deploy.sh (incremental deploy)

Local Development

cp .env.dev .env
pnpm dev

Use http://localhost:5173 for the application. This keeps local OAuth callbacks compatible with providers such as Google. In a second terminal, run:

pnpm dev:marketing-site

Then use http://localhost:8888 for the landing page. Its Web link points to the application root at http://localhost:5173.

Both the API and collaboration service require COLLAB_INTERNAL_SECRET. The development template provides a localhost-only value so a fresh checkout starts immediately. For every non-development environment, generate and set a unique secret with openssl rand -hex 32.

Remote MCP access is available at https://mcp.metakip.com/mcp. Local development can run it at http://localhost:3002.
