Practical Notes
- Quant: the quick start calls out Python 3.11+ and Node.js 20+ as requirements.
- Quant: the default local ports are :3000 (web) and :8000 (API), with a local SQLite index under
.llmwiki/.
Main
A safe operating loop:
- Keep sources immutable: point LLM Wiki at your research folder; it writes only to
wiki/and.llmwiki/. - Ask for diffs: have Claude propose page edits and review them like code (git diff, PRs).
- Scope by workspace: one folder = one MCP entry, so cross-project access stays explicit.
If you want richer PDF extraction, the README suggests optional OCR upgrades; start with the default local stack first.
FAQ
Q: Does it move my files?
A: No—README says source files stay where they are; it adds wiki/ + .llmwiki/.
Q: Can I run it without cloud services? A: Yes—local indexing and storage are the default; basic usage needs no API keys.
Q: How do I connect Claude?
A: Run ./llmwiki mcp-config <folder> and paste the JSON snippet into your Claude config.
