Registre officiel Recherche et web

Search and explore source-backed SEO, SaaS, and LLM-wiki knowledge from the XKnow knowledge base.

Installation

Ajoutez ceci à la configuration MCP de votre client (Claude Desktop : claude_desktop_config.json ; Cursor : .cursor/mcp.json ; VS Code et les autres utilisent la même forme « mcpServers »).

NPM package xknow-mcp
Claude Code
claude mcp add xknow-knowledge-base -- npx -y xknow-mcp@1.0.2
Configuration JSON (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)

xknow-mcp

An MCP server for the XKnow Knowledge Base — a curated, cross-linked body of SEO, SaaS, and LLM-wiki knowledge. Give any MCP-capable agent (Claude, Cursor, Cline, opencode, and others) the ability to search and cite it.

  • Local and private. Runs on your machine over stdio. No server, no account, no API key.
  • Static data. The free layer is a snapshot of the public XKnow guides, bundled with the package. Nothing is fetched at query time.
  • Graph-aware. Beyond keyword search, explore_concept walks the cross-links between notes, so an agent can follow a topic instead of getting a flat list.

Quick start

Add it to your MCP client.

Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json), Cursor, Cline, and most clients:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xknow": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "xknow-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

claude mcp add xknow -- npx -y xknow-mcp

opencode (opencode.json)

{
  "mcp": {
    "xknow": { "type": "local", "command": ["npx", "-y", "xknow-mcp"], "enabled": true }
  }
}

Then ask your agent something like:

"Use the xknow tools to explain keyword difficulty and cite the source." "Search XKnow for SaaS pricing models and summarise the trade-offs."

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_knowledgeRanked search over the knowledge base. Returns titles, snippets, and URLs.
get_pageFull text of one note by title or slug (preserves [[wikilinks]]).
explore_conceptA note plus its outbound links and backlinks — walks the knowledge graph.
list_topicsLists every note grouped by section (seo, saas, blog).
lint_rulesThe XKnow SEO/SaaS content self-check rubric — each rule with priority (P0–P3), reasoning, fix, and the knowledge-base notes that back it.
citeReturns the canonical citation (title, description, URL) for a note.

Two knowledge layers

LayerContentHow
Free (default)The 57 public XKnow guides and blog postsBundled snapshot — just npx -y xknow-mcp
Full vaultYour purchased XKnow Knowledge Base (500+ linked notes)npx -y xknow-mcp --vault /path/to/SEO-SaaS-Vault

The full-vault mode reads a local folder of Markdown notes, so your purchased copy never leaves your machine. Set it once with the XKNOW_VAULT environment variable if you prefer:

export XKNOW_VAULT="/path/to/SEO-SaaS-Vault"
npx -y xknow-mcp

How it works

xknow-mcp is a Node.js stdio server. The free layer is a static JSON snapshot generated from the public site and bundled in the package (data/knowledge.json); search is a small, dependency-free ranking pass over the bundled notes. Vault mode parses Markdown notes from a local folder on the fly. No network calls, no vector database, no telemetry.

Development

npm install
npm run build:data   # refresh data/knowledge.json from https://xknow.org/mcp/knowledge.json
npm run build        # tsc
npm run smoke        # exercise every tool over a real stdio connection

# also test against a local vault
SMOKE_VAULT=/path/to/SEO-SaaS-Vault npm run smoke
