Package (npm 0.2.2)

npx -y [email protected]

Or add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kybase": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "[email protected]"
      ],
      "env": {
        "KYBASE_DATA_DIR": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "EMBEDDING_PROVIDER": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OLLAMA_URL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OLLAMA_MODEL": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "GOOGLE_API_KEY": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "<YOUR_VALUE>",
        "DATABASE_URL": "<YOUR_VALUE>"
      }
    }
  }
}

KYBASE_DATA_DIR — Where the embedded database and instance secret live. Defaults to ~/.kybase
EMBEDDING_PROVIDER — Embedding provider for semantic search
OLLAMA_URL — Ollama endpoint for local embeddings. Without any provider, full-text search still works
OLLAMA_MODEL — Ollama embedding model
GOOGLE_API_KEY secret — Google API key, when EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=google. Sends note text to Google
OPENAI_API_KEY secret — OpenAI API key, when EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=openai. Sends note text to OpenAI
DATABASE_URL secret — Use an existing Kybase Postgres instead of the embedded one (migrations are left to the app)
