mcp-kibela is an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, and VSCode to Kibela, letting them securely search, read, create, and update notes in your team's knowledge base. It's built for developers and teams that already use Kibela for internal documentation and want their AI tools to reference that content directly. Unlike a read-only connector, it supports both retrieving notes (by keyword, ID, or path) and writing them, and runs as a self-hosted Docker container using your own Kibela API token.

n8n is the source-available workflow automation tool loved by technical teams. Run it yourself for full data control, or use n8n Cloud. With 400+ integrations and the ability to run custom JavaScript and Python, n8n is infinitely flexible.
