Atlas Mind is a self-hosted, git-native knowledge base designed to keep users' notes as plain files within their own private git repositories. The platform emphasizes user ownership by ensuring that all data remains local, with no uploads or third-party network calls, and nothing stored on external servers. It is delivered as a single Python HTTP server that runs entirely on the standard library, requiring no database and making all accounts and share links plain JSON files on disk. 0, and all fonts and libraries are vendored to prevent outside dependencies.
A core feature of Atlas Mind is its live, force-directed knowledge graph that visually maps the relationships between notes. docx files inline, with all conversions handled in the browser. The platform is designed to function as both a personal and collaborative knowledge base, with every change tracked as a git commit, attributing edits by author, date, and whether an AI made the edit. Activity feeds, contributor constellations, and health checks (such as obsolescence and contradictions) provide insight into the evolution and maintenance of the knowledge base.
Atlas Mind is built to be AI-native, exposing a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint with a suite of tools for AI assistants to read, write, map, audit, and manage the knowledge base. This allows integration with AI clients such as Claude, enabling features like searching the full text of documents, traversing the wikilink graph, accessing document history, and managing changes over time. AI assistants can also triage incoming information, suggest organization, and flag contradictions or outdated notes, all while respecting user privacy by keeping all operations local and reversible.
The platform positions itself as an alternative to hosted notes applications, offering users full control over their data and format. If Atlas Mind were to disappear, the knowledge base would remain accessible as a standard folder of files in a git repository, ensuring long-term portability and independence.
