MCP Tools

Knowit exposes nine tools over MCP. Retrieval is tiered: search and resolve return summaries, get_knowledge fetches full content.

Retrieval

Tool	Purpose
`resolve_context`	Resolve implementation context for a task across one or more sources. Accepts a task description plus optional `repo`, `domain`, and `files`. Returns title, summary, and metadata — not full content.
`search_knowledge`	Search knowledge across one or more sources by query. Like resolve_context, returns title, summary, and metadata only.
`get_knowledge`	Fetch full content for one or more entries by ID (up to 20). Phase 2 of tiered retrieval — call it after `search_knowledge` or `resolve_context` with the IDs that look relevant.

Tool	Purpose
`store_knowledge`	Store one knowledge entry in the selected source — the local store or an external MCP-backed source. Takes type, title, content, and optional body blocks, scope, repo, domain, tags, confidence, URL, and metadata.
`capture_session_learnings`	Batch-store up to 20 knowledge items from a coding session. Existing entries with the same title, type, scope, repo, and domain are updated rather than duplicated. Meant to be called at the end of a session.

Tool	Purpose
`resolve_source_action`	Determine whether Knowit should handle a read/write directly or route the agent to an external provider MCP next. Use when the user mentions Knowit but not the downstream provider.
`connect_source`	Connect a first-class source provider such as `local` or `notion`. The preferred product-facing source onboarding flow.
`register_mcp_source`	Register an arbitrary external MCP server as a Knowit source using explicit tool mappings — a command to launch it plus a `toolMap` naming its store, search, and resolve tools. The advanced counterpart to `connect_source`.
`list_sources`	List configured Knowit sources, including local and external MCP-backed sources.
