What it unlocks
- Retrieval over every collection you have indexed
- Metadata filters for date, tag, category, author, and language
- Explainable ranking when a result looks wrong
Windsurf + GNO
Windsurf plus your own reference material
gno mcp install --target windsurf registers GNO with the exact Bun and package entrypoint plus the active index, so Windsurf resolves the same workspace your terminal does. From there its assistant retrieves from your documents on demand rather than guessing from the open buffer.
- Connects via
- MCP server
- Requires
- Bun 1.3+ and one indexed folder
- Data boundary
- Corpus and index stay on your machine
