+Retrieval is hybrid: the agent primarily navigates via `index.md`'s one-line summaries, and additionally has `list_taxonomy`/`get_taxonomy_item` (semantic browsing of `concepts/`/`entities/` pages by their one-line briefs — not a keyword search) and a tiered `search_wiki` tool — a dependency-free BM25 full-text search, in three independent tiers over `summaries/` briefs, full `summaries/` bodies, and `sources/` (including per-page indexing of long PageIndex documents) — for surfacing details a summary omits (an exact term, an author, a creation date). It's additive, not a replacement, so recall can only improve over index-only navigation.

+### Using with an MCP client
+
+For MCP-capable assistants (or any client that prefers typed tools over filesystem/CLI access), `openkb-mcp` starts a stdio MCP server exposing:
+
+- `list_taxonomy` / `list_documents` — semantic browsing of concepts/entities and summaries/explorations, each with their one-line brief.
+- `get_content` — read wiki content by slug across all seven content kinds (concept/entity/summary/exploration/source/report/index); omit `kind` to search all of them and get one entry per match.
+- `search_wiki` — tiered BM25 search over briefs/summaries/sources/explorations (see "Query & Chat" above for what "tiered" means).
+- `get_status` — the active KB's absolute path and content counts (the only way to learn the KB's absolute path without shell access, since every other tool returns wiki-root-relative paths).
+- `list_kbs` — every KB this server can address via the `kb` parameter.
+
+No index cache: every tool rebuilds its underlying index fresh on every call, same as the CLI.
+
+Every tool accepts an optional `kb` parameter (a registered KB name/alias, or an absolute KB root path) so one server process can serve multiple knowledge bases — omit it to use the KB resolved from the server's working directory or global default (today's behavior):
+
+```json
+{
+ "mcpServers": {
+ "openkb": {
+ "command": "openkb-mcp",
+ "cwd": "/path/to/your/kb"
+ }
+ }

+1. Read index.md to see all documents with brief summaries. Each document is
+ marked (short) or (pageindex) to indicate its type.
2. Read relevant summary pages (summaries/) for document overviews.
Summaries may omit details — if you need more, follow the summary's
- `full_text` frontmatter field to the source (see step 4).
-3. Read concept pages (concepts/) for cross-document synthesis.
-4. For "who/what is X" questions about a specific named person, organization,
- place, or product, read the matching page in entities/ first.
-5. When you need detailed source document content, each summary page has a
+ `full_text` frontmatter field to the source (see step 5).
+3. For concepts (cross-document synthesis) and entities ("who/what is X"
+ questions about a specific named person, organization, place, or
+ product), call list_taxonomy first — it's a compact, one-line-per-item
+ browse list, not a keyword search. Pick the slug(s) that match the
+ question's meaning by their brief, then read_file the matching
+ concepts/.md or entities/.md.
+4. For "what documents/explorations exist" questions, or to check whether a
+ question was already answered before, call list_documents — same
+ browse-list style as list_taxonomy, but over summaries (one per
+ ingested document) and explorations (saved answers from a previous
+ `openkb query --save`). If a matching exploration's brief already
+ answers the current question, read and reuse it instead of
+ re-synthesizing from summaries/sources.
+5. If index.md's one-line summaries, list_taxonomy, and list_documents
+ don't surface a specific detail you need (a niche term, an exact
+ figure, an author/creation-date only present in a raw source), use
+ search_wiki(query, scope) — a tiered, keyword-level full-text search
+ over summaries/sources/explorations only (concepts/entities are step
+ 3's job, never search_wiki's). This is a hybrid fallback: use it in
+ addition to, not instead of, index.md/list_taxonomy/list_documents
+ navigation. Narrow scope to ["sources"] when you specifically need a
+ source-only detail (an exact field name, an author, a date) that a
+ generated summary would likely omit; leave scope unset to search all
+ tiers. A hit from the "explorations" tier is a previously-saved answer,
+ not a document summary — treat it as its own category, distinct from a
+ "summaries"/"sources" hit for the same slug.
+6. When you need detailed source document content, each summary page has a
`full_text` frontmatter field with the path to the original document content:
- Short documents (doc_type: short): read_file with that path.
- PageIndex documents (doc_type: pageindex): use get_page_content(doc_name, pages)
with tight page ranges. The summary shows document tree structure with page
- ranges to help you target. Never fetch the whole document.
-6. Source content may reference images. Short-doc .md pages link them
+ ranges to help you target. Never fetch the whole document. A search_wiki
+ hit with a "page" locator names the exact page to fetch.
+7. Source content may reference images. Short-doc .md pages link them
note-relative (e.g. , resolved from
wiki/sources/); long-doc JSON page metadata lists them wiki-root-relative
(e.g. sources/images/doc/file.png). Pass either form as seen to the
get_image tool — it accepts both.
-7. Synthesize a clear, concise, well-cited answer grounded in wiki content.
+8. Synthesize a clear, concise, well-cited answer grounded in wiki content.
Answer based only on wiki content. Be concise.
Before each tool call, output one short sentence explaining the reason.

+"""Dependency-free BM25 full-text index over compiled wiki pages.
+
+Hybrid retrieval: the query/chat agent's primary search strategy is
+``index.md`` navigation (one-line summaries pointing at pages to read). That
+strategy loses recall for details buried deep in a page body that the
+one-liner doesn't mention. This module adds an additive, keyword-level
+fallback — a BM25 index over the same compiled pages — exposed to the agent
+as the ``search_wiki`` tool (see ``openkb.agent.tools.search_wiki``). It is a
+union with index-driven navigation, not a replacement, so recall can only
+improve relative to index-only navigation, never regress.
+
+Concepts and entities are deliberately excluded from full-text search (see
+:class:`TieredWikiSearch` below) — they are found by semantic browsing
+(``list_taxonomy_items``/``get_content`` in ``agent.tools``), not keyword
+search, so :class:`WikiFullTextIndex` (kept for backward compatibility with
+the original single-tier ``search_wiki`` tool) and :class:`TieredWikiSearch`
+cover different, non-overlapping surfaces:
+
+- :class:`WikiFullTextIndex` — the original combined BM25 index over
+ ``concepts/`` + ``entities/`` + ``summaries/`` (:data:`PAGE_CONTENT_DIRS`).
+- :class:`TieredWikiSearch` — four independent BM25 tiers, each scoped to a
+ different part of a document's lifecycle so a query only "wastes" recall
+ budget on the granularity it's actually likely to match at:
+ 1. ``briefs`` — one-line ``description``/``brief`` frontmatter per
+ ``summaries/*.md`` (same short text ``index.md`` shows). High precision,
+ low recall — good for on-topic queries, filters out incidental
+ word-frequency noise from long documents.
+ 2. ``summaries`` — full body of ``summaries/*.md``. Higher recall for
+ specific terms/figures the one-liner omits.
+ 3. ``sources`` — raw ``sources/*.md`` (whole file) and ``sources/*.json``
+ PageIndex documents (indexed **per page**, not per document, so a hit
+ can point at an exact page via a :class:`Locator` instead of forcing a
+ re-score over an entire long document). Covers details that never make
+ it into a summary at all (creation dates, authors, exact field names).
+ 4. ``explorations`` — full body of ``explorations/*.md`` (saved
+ ``openkb query --save`` answers). Its own tier rather than folded into
+ ``summaries`` — an exploration is a previously-synthesized answer, not
+ a document summary, and keeping it a separate tier means a hit stays
+ unambiguously labeled as one or the other by which tier surfaced it.
+
+No new dependency: OpenKB pins dependencies exactly and vets each one
+deliberately (see ``pyproject.toml``), and BM25 over a few hundred wiki pages
+is cheap enough in pure Python that a search-library dependency (e.g. Whoosh)
+isn't warranted.

+pages=None)` for every "read" row below instead: `kind` is one of
+`concept`/`entity`/`summary`/`exploration`/`source`/`report`/`index`, and
+omitting it searches all seven and returns one entry per match (e.g. a
+summary and its source, which share a slug, both come back — not just
+the first found). It always returns a list, even for a single match, and
+auto-detects whether a `source` is short or a paginated PageIndex
+document (only the latter needs `pages`).
