SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

CRUD operations on the gnosis-mcp knowledge base, enabling safe, targeted edits to documents and their metadata while preventing uncontrolled changes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Point-write: add, delete, and update metadata for individual documents
  • Related actions: view link neighbours and corpus stats for quality checks
  • Bulk ingest guidance: use /gnosis:ingest for re-ingest and prune; requires GNOSIS_MCP_WRITABLE=true for writes

Quick Start

Use /gnosis:manage add path/to/doc.md to index a document.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely update document metadata in a knowledge base?

To safely update document metadata in a knowledge base, use a tool that applies targeted CRUD operations on individual documents. It enforces server-side write gating to prevent uncontrolled changes and returns structured results.

Can I delete a single document from the knowledge base without affecting others?

Yes, you can delete a single document from the knowledge base without affecting others. It performs point-write operations to add, delete, or update specific documents individually.

What is server-side write gating for document CRUD operations?

Server-side write gating for document CRUD operations is a security mechanism ensuring writes are only allowed when the GNOSIS_MCP_WRITABLE environment variable is set, preventing unauthorized or accidental modifications.

What is the best way to add a new document to the gnosis-mcp index?

The best way to add a new document to the gnosis-mcp index is by using the manage command. It applies point-write operations to safely index individual documents and their metadata.

Why are my knowledge base edits not saving when using CRUD operations?

Knowledge base edits are likely not saving because server-side write gating is active. You must ensure the GNOSIS_MCP_WRITABLE variable is set to true to authorize any add, delete, or update operations.

Do I need a separate tool for bulk document ingest instead of single-doc edits?

Yes, for bulk document ingest you need a separate tool. While this tool handles safe single-document CRUD operations, bulk ingest and prune actions require a dedicated ingest command.
