Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@myceliumsearch my notes for articles about neural networks"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
mycelium
Shared toolkit for building agent plugins over personal knowledge sources (documents, notes,
and whatever comes next) — extracted out of the OpenClaw
plugins for paperless-ngx and Trilium Notes, which had independently grown near-identical
semantic search implementations. Those plugins — plus the 1Password secret-provider plugin —
now live in this same repo (apps/paperless-ngx, apps/trilium, apps/onepassword), so they
can consume the shared packages below as ordinary workspace dependencies instead of a
publish-then-consume round trip across separate repos. Each still publishes to npm
independently, under its own name.
Three problems, three packages:
Package | Problem it solves |
"I want to use any LLM for embeddings/retrieval, not just one hardcoded provider." Pluggable client for any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, vLLM, LM Studio, ...), plus an opt-in local CPU fallback with zero API dependency. | |
"I want semantic search over my personal document/note corpus without running a vector DB server." A local, file-backed sqlite-vec index with incremental sync and hybrid lexical+semantic search (Reciprocal Rank Fusion). | |
"I want my plugin's tools usable outside one specific agent host." Bridges the same tool definitions onto a standalone MCP server, over stdio and Streamable HTTP. |
Plus @transmitt0r/mycelium-tooling-config: shared biome/tsconfig presets, and
@transmitt0r/mycelium-openapi-codegen: shared OpenAPI-schema-to-types codegen
logic used by the plugin apps' own generator scripts. Both published, but enablers rather than
features in their own right.
Why "mycelium"
The fungal network that links otherwise-separate organisms and moves nutrients between them — which is the job here: linking separate personal-data sources to any LLM provider, over any transport, without each plugin reinventing the same wiring.
