AI Tool Integration

Install GNO as MCP in ten named clients

Connect GNO to ten named clients via automatic Model Context Protocol (MCP) installation. Other compatible clients, including Raycast, use manual MCP configuration.

Use cases
Persistent local knowledge retrieval for supported MCP clients
Researchers who want AI answers grounded in their own sources
Teams standardizing a shared knowledge backend for AI tools
Search layer for an LLM Wiki or AI-maintained knowledge base

What it gives you

  • HTTP clients of gno serve or gno daemon share loaded models, stdio clients still work, and a request that fails in the model process is not retried automatically
  • The client calls GNO's 37 read-only tools against the pinned local index
  • Automatic targets: Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Zed, Windsurf, OpenCode, Amp, LM Studio, and LibreChat
  • Raycast and other compatible clients can be configured manually
  • Pins the exact local runtime, active index, and workspace roots
  • 37 read-only tools by default, including Knowledge Delta, Context Capsule build, verification, verified Ask, and scoped memory recall
  • 21 write tools are opt-in, and enabling them also registers the read-only gno_request_status lookup, for 59 tools total; gno_remember is one of the writes
  • Opt-in core profile advertises 7 read tools, plus gno_capture and gno_remember with writes enabled, so an agent pays for 9 tool definitions per session instead of 59; pick it once per client with gno mcp install --tool-profile core
  • Direct document access via standard resource URIs
  • Host file paths reach stdio clients only; Streamable HTTP results carry the gno:// URI and collection-relative path
  • Graph neighbor, shortest-path, typed traversal, and query-diagnose tools for relationship questions
