Quick Start

# Install globally npm install -g @sudosandwich/limps # Initialize in your project cd ~/Documents/my-planning-docs limps init # Start the HTTP daemon limps server start # → Daemon starts on http://127.0.0.1:4269/mcp # → PID file written to OS-standard location # → Ready for MCP client connections # Generate MCP client config limps config print --client claude-code # Copy the output to your MCP client config file

That's it. Your AI assistant now has access to your documents via HTTP transport. The folder can be anywhere—local, synced, or in a repo; limps does not require a git repository or a plans/ directory.

Tip: limps server status always includes system-wide daemon discovery. If a project config is found (or passed via --config), it also reconciles the configured project target against that global list.

What to know before you start

Local only — Your data stays on disk (SQLite index + your files). No cloud, no subscription.

Restart after changes — If you change the indexed folder or config, restart the MCP server (or rely on the file watcher) so the index and tools reflect the current state.

Daemon management — The HTTP server runs as a background process. Use limps server start, limps server stop, and limps server status to manage the daemon lifecycl
