mcp-knowledge-gaps

Find what your knowledge base mentions but doesn't actually explain.

Find concepts mentioned but never defined in your markdown knowledge base (Obsidian vault, Logseq graph, any folder of .md files). Uses fuzzy canonicalization to avoid false positives, ranks gaps by frequency × region-diversity × novelty, generates prioritized research questions, and samples from the long tail via sortition to break confirmation bias in your research queue.
