Adamanteum Community Edition released: local knowledge graph for AI to read
Understand this story
Stinger Industries releases Adamanteum Community Edition under the MIT license, mapping notes and code into a draggable local knowledge graph and allowing any MCP-capable AI to search and read the same vault via a read-only token. The tool sets raw notes to read-only by default; to write to the vault, set the environment variable ADAMANTEUM_VAULT_WRITE=1. Adamanteum itself does not have built-in AI, and unless the user actively opts in, data does not leave the local machine; keys are kept only in memory and are not written to storage. These restrictions mean that "any AI can read" refers only to access via the read-only token; writing and external transmission must be separately enabled by the user.

- Hacker News AIAdamanteum: A local, MIT knowledge atlas your notes and any AI can both read
Adamanteum Community Edition is a local-first, MIT-licensed knowledge atlas that renders a Markdown vault as an interactive map with fast full-text search, a notebook with revisions, and a code graph for 30 languages. It runs via three commands on Node.js 24 or newer, keeps notes read-only by default, and lets any MCP-capable AI search and read the vault through revocable read-only tokens, with optional OpenAI-compatible model connections. The post reports one-laptop benchmarks, such as indexing 10,000 notes in 10.4 seconds, and lists limitations including incomplete Obsidian parity for editing, tags and embeds.
