Readme
khive
A research knowledge graph runtime: 78 verbs, 11 packs, one MCP tool.
Install
npm install -g khiveConfigure
Add to .mcp.json (project-level or ~/.claude/mcp.json for global):
{ "mcpServers": { "khive": { "command": "khive", "args": ["mcp"] } } }All 11 packs load by default. A background daemon auto-spawns to keep the runtime warm.
What you get
| Pack | Verbs | What it does |
| ------------- | ----- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| kg | 18 | Entities, edges, notes, graph queries, proposals |
| gtd | 5 | Task lifecycle (inbox → next → active → done) |
| memory | 5 | Salience-weighted remember / decay-ranked recall |
| brain | 15 | Bayesian user profiles + feedback loop |
| comm | 7 | Threaded messaging |
| schedule | 4 | Reminders and scheduled verb execution |
| knowledge | 19 | Atom-based KB with embedding rerank search |
| session | 4 | Session record persistence (store/list/resume/export) |
| git | 1 | Git-lifecycle note kinds (commit/issue/pull_request) + batch ingester + git.digest |
| code | 0 | Finding note kind; ingest is admin-CLI-only (kkernel code-ingest), no MCP verb |
