Enzyme MCP Server

Enzyme compiles your notes and other knowledge sources into a local index that: 1. Uses temporally grounded context sampling that captures the contextual use of tags and wikilinks, or natural accumulation in folders (i.e. pseudo-Zettelkasten) 2. With this context, generate questions (called catalysts) and embed them as semantic routes to the whole knowledge base 3. Keeps refreshing, but separates new doc ingestion…

People who work with knowledge management, local first and obsidian and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
