Compendio MCP

Your project's documentation, served to any agent in the fewest possible tokens. A local RAG retrieval layer exposed as an MCP server. Your agent stops grepping and dumping whole files - it reaches the right paragraph instead.

People who work with markdown, rag and documentation tool and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
