Your Markdown notes are useful until the answer spans five files.
Kwipu is a local Graph RAG system for people who keep project knowledge in Markdown or Obsidian vaults.
It helps you ask natural-language questions across scattered notes by turning Markdown files into a persisted property graph and querying it with hybrid retrieval.
Key features: • Markdown-to-graph indexing – builds a property graph from notes and LLM-extracted relationships • Obsidian-aware parsing – reads [[wikilinks]] and YAML frontmatter into structured triples • Hybrid retrieval – combines optional synonym expansion, vector similarity, BM25, and temporal/metadata matching • Local Ollama workflow – runs LLM and embedding models locally, with CLI model overrides • MCP server – lets Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, or other MCP-compatible agents query the graph
It’s open-source (MIT license).
