Contextator: a private documentation bridge for MCP agents
A self-hosted server that combines folders, repositories, Obsidian vaults, and Notion workspaces into a searchable MCP endpoint.
- For
- Teams with documentation across private repositories and knowledge stores
- Worth noticing
- Indexes headings with local 384-dimensional embeddings and skips unchanged files after SHA-256 checks
Field notes
The documented workflow accepts several source types and preserves document breadcrumbs while chunking files at their headings. PostgreSQL 16 with pgvector stores the index, and local 384-dimensional embeddings are described as running on CPU. The page also specifies SHA-256-based change detection, project-scoped sessions, and persisted run metadata, giving the tool a more operationally explicit shape than a generic “private RAG” landing page.
