Knowledge Base FAQs

Question 1

What is the 'Knowledge Base' tool?

Accepted Answer

The Knowledge Base tool (knowledge-mcp) provides Claude Code with persistent, git-managed memory, enabling it to store, retrieve, and manage technical documentation, decisions, and project information locally.

Question 2

How does it give Claude Code persistent memory?

Accepted Answer

It exposes a set of tools (like `kb_search`, `kb_read`, `kb_write`, `kb_log_decision`) to Claude Code via stdio MCP. Claude uses these tools to interact with a local, git-versioned markdown knowledge base, ensuring all information is saved and tracked across sessions.

Question 3

What kind of content can I store and manage?

Accepted Answer

You can store various types of documentation including system architecture, operational guides, technical decision logs, plans, drafts, and helper scripts. All content is organized within a flexible directory structure and managed with Git.

Question 4

Does it include version control for my knowledge?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every write operation or technical decision logging automatically triggers a Git commit within your local knowledge base. This provides a complete version history, allowing you to track and revert all changes.

Question 5

Can I import existing documentation into the Knowledge Base?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The `kb_init` tool can automatically scan your specified project directories for existing `CLAUDE.md` files and import their content, helping you quickly bootstrap your knowledge base.
