README

hive-vault

Your AI coding assistant forgets everything between sessions. Hive fixes that.

Hive is an MCP server that connects your AI assistant to an Obsidian vault. Instead of loading everything upfront, it queries only what's needed — on demand.

Metric	Without Hive	With Hive
Context loaded per session	~800 lines (static)	~50 lines (on demand)
Token cost for context	100% every session	6% average per query
Knowledge retained between sessions	0%	100% (in vault)

Measured on a real vault with 19 projects, 200+ files. See benchmarks.

Quick Start

Hive runs without a vault — vault tools return a friendly error until VAULT_PATH is set, so you can install first and configure later.

# Minimal — uses default vault path ~/Projects/knowledge
claude mcp add -s user hive -- uvx --upgrade hive-vault

# With a custom vault path
claude mcp add -s user hive -e VAULT_PATH=$HOME/path/to/vault -- uvx --upgrade hive-vault

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add -s user -e VAULT_PATH=$HOME/path/to/vault hive-vault uvx -- --upgrade hive-vault

Default vault path: ~/Projects/knowledge. Override with VAULT_PATH (or HIVE_VAULT_PATH) as shown above.

For Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients, see Getting Started.

Then ask your assistant: "Use vault_list to see my vault"

Tools

Tool	What it does
`vault_query`	Load project context, tasks, roadmap, lessons — or any file by path
`vault_search`	Full-text search with metadata filters, regex, ranked results, recent changes, lesson-usage ranking (`rank_by`)
`vault_list`	Browse projects and files with glob filtering
`vault_health`	Health metrics, drift detection, usage stats
`vault_write`	Create, append, or replace vault files with auto git commit
`vault_patch`	Surgical find-and-replace with auto git commit
`capture_lesson`	Capture lessons inline / batch-extract from text / look up existing lessons by keyword (`find=`)
`session_briefing`	Tasks + lessons + git log + health in one call
`delegate_task`	Route tasks to cheaper models or summarize vault files
`worker_status`	Budget, connectivity, available models

Plus 5 resources and 4 prompts for guided workflows.

Lesson reinforcement

Every read of a lesson via vault_query, vault_search, or capture_lesson(find=…) increments a counter and grows that lesson's confidence asymptotically toward 1.0. Validated lessons rank higher than one-shot captures over time.

# Surface the top-ranked lessons matching a keyword
capture_lesson(project="hive", find="multi-process")

# Search lessons ranked by usage signal (not BM25)
vault_search(query="timeout", rank_by="reinforcements")    # most-reinforced first
vault_search(query="timeout", rank_by="confidence")        # highest deca
